Abstract:
GYÖRGY DÉNES, The 1249 inspection of the landmarks of the estate named Szalonna
and the misread Yrmeg, correctly Yrmes potoka (‘a stream where once grew Artemisia’) //
From the 9th to the 13th centuries, the large estate known as Szalonna, situated on both sides
of the river Bódva in northern Hungary, was jointly owned by three or four families descended
from the first Hungarian settlers. In 1249, as a result of the Mongol invasion of 1241–1242, most
owners on this piece of land, with the exception of Bailiff Miklós, decided to sell the estate. The
sales contract defined all landmarks bordering the territory sold, including a stream on the eastern
border. The hardly legible Latin charter was published in 1876; this edition gives the name of the
relevant stream as Yrmeg, an obscure name of unknown origin. The author has checked the
original manuscript and found that the correct spelling of the name is Yrmes; and that the name
goes back to the Hungarian word üröm (‘Artemisia’), and identifies the characteristic plant that
once grew on the stream’s banks. The denotatum of the name, however, has long remained
unknown. Luckily, a present inhabitant of the village of Szalonna was able to recall which stream.
