German term or phrase: arheilger
From an auction catalogue. This is an inscription on the 'portrait' of a pig. I am having problems with 'arheilger' which may just be part of the name of the forest in question. I would be grateful for any help.

“Solches HauptSchwein 6 Schuh lang 3 Sch. 7 zoll... hoch ist in der sogenannten Koberstatt **arheilger** Forsts den 4n Decemb 1765 lebentig gefangen und von den He. Landgrafen zu Darmstatt Hochfürstlich Durchl. mit Schwärmern erlegt worden. Hat abgemuscht (ausgenommen) 530 tb? (Pfund?) der Kopf allein 85 tbß gewogen”.

Thank you ntext (and Stephen) for your help. I think I was thrown by the lower case 'a'; I feel I should have been able to fine this myself, so thanks for kind support.
