I would appreciate help in translating this birth. Item 42 in the second image. Underlined heading is Smaryn or Smazyn. I am Especially interested in words that follow the underlined heading.
The first image is a close-up of the same birth record.

Hi,
I read it as "illegit.(imo) thoro", but our forum expert David surely will clarify this. On April, a child born on March 14 was baptized. Her name was Rosalia Josephina. Her mother was Maryanna Myller (mayble Myllerska?) and godparents were Michal Garcki and Rosalia Wrobel.

The text reads (abbreviations are completed in parentheses): Smarzyn Illegit(imi) thori
Die 1ma (=prima) Aprilis eq (=ego qui) sup(ra) bapti(zavi) infant(em) natum 17 Martij hor(a) 8 vesp(ere) ex hon(esta) Marianna Myller illegitimi thori cui imposita sunt nomina Rosalia Josephina. Patrini: Michael Gareki(?) et Rosalia Wrobel.

Translation: Smarzyn Illegitimate (literally: of an illegitimate bed)
On the first day of April I, as above, baptized an infant born on March 17 at the eighth hour in the evening (8:00 p.m.) of the worker Marianna Myller (Miller) of an illegitimate bed upon whom were imposed the names Rosalia Josephine. The sponsors (were) Michael Gareki (not sure of the last name) and Rosalia Wrobel.
Note: The I, as above, (ego qui supra) refers back to the last time in the record where the priest's name was written in full, usually the first entry on the page. Smarzyn is the name of the place where the child was born. The year usually appears as a heading at the top of the page.
