What do Old Swedish "mz", "thz" mean?
I didn't find them in a dictionary.
from

2As for "mz", it could be an abbreviation for mædh, that makes sense. But I can't make sense of "thz". I'm not aware of such a word as thædh in Old Swedish.– Героям славаMar 15, 2021 at 14:34

1@OmarL Thz was fairly common in Mediaeval Scandinavia as an abbreviation for whatever the local form of ‘that’ was (þæt, þadh, thet, etc.).– Janus Bahs JacquetMar 15, 2021 at 16:29

thz is in all probability an abbreviation for the word means "that" in Old Swedish. According to Wiktionary, that's þæt, dhet.
It is scribal abbreviation of the '-(e)t' lemme: -(e)t = -z. For more you can read this article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tironian_notes
