The reading poxleber = Bocksleber was challenged since p- for Bock was considered unusual in early written German. In the Arlberg brotherhood armorial (Innsbruck, Tiroler Landesarchiv, Codex Figdor, 1394–1407), I found ain pfunt perner (= Berner) on f.14r and Pehaimisch gros (= Böhmisch) on f.14v (Widmoser–Köfler edition). So p- for b- is attested in a Tyrolean source of this period.
Note: I'm not sure about the glyph after l being a b; it could be a d instead, but this is less likely, in my opinion.
