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

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

As for "mz", it's be an abbreviation for mædh, that makes sense.
thz is in all probability an abbreviation for the word means "that" in Old Swedish. According to Wiktionary, that's þæt, dhet.
