Also in another volume under [reign of] pope John XV we read, that Dagone, lord, and Ote, lady, and their sons Mieszko and Lambert were due to grant to saint Peter one entire city [or state], which is [called] Schignesne, with all its lands in those borders, as it begin from first side by cost of the long sea, and from there along border of Prussia to the place, which is called Rus, and straight along border of Rus till Kraków, and then till the Oder river straight to the place, which is called Alemura, and from this Alemura till the land of Milsko, and from its border straight under the Oder and from there along the Oder river till mentioned city [or state] of Shinesche.
Podobnie w innym tomie za Jana XV papieża czytamy, że Dagome, pan, i Ote, pani, i synowie ich Mieszko i Lambert mieli nadać świętemu Piotrowi w całości jedno miasto [lub państwo], które zwie się Schignesne, z wszystkimi jego przynależnościami w tych granicach, tak jak się zaczyna od pierwszego boku długim morzem, stąd granicą Prus aż do miejsca, które się nazywa Ruś, a granica Rusi ciągnąc aż do Krakowa, a potem aż do rzeki Odry prosto do miejsca, które zwie się Alemura, a od tejże Alemury aż po ziemię Milsko, a od jego granicy prosto pod Odrę i stąd prowadząc wzdłuż rzeki Odry aż do rzeczonego miasta [lub państwa] Schinesche.
This text was copied especially for one paragraph (7th on folia 121v), which is mainly known as "Dagome(Dagone) iudex". This is a piece of canonical work called "Collectio canonum". The reason is, that it is a very important text for Polish history, where it's used to fixing many things from the erliest times of Poland. However we don't know how it looked oririginally and we have only six different copies of that (you can see copy number 4 on the picture). That's why there are many studies, which tries to deduce real appearance of this by copies comparision. Very important thing is dependence between copies and which one has delivered the best forms. Here is a filiation diagram where copy on the picture is marked by blue;
