Polish term or phrase: ban~ gorzal~czanych
First, I used the tilde (~) to indicate accented Polish characters. The text comes from a town history in the Slownik Geograficzny. The preceding text is as follows:

"W rok 1579 szosu duple~ pl~acono 3 floren, 6 grosz, od 4 ban~ gorzal~cyanych,"
Mark Kaszniak
distilleries?
Explanation:
"bania" is a large spherical container and also a distilling flask;
"gorzalczana" comes from the now old-fashioned or slangy/humorous word "gorzalka" = vodka
I have no idea whether 3 floren was much or not. :-) M.M.
