The cancel on this early Romanian stamp reads BOROSIN, but none of my sources lists a city with that name in Romania, There is a Borosin in Czechia, but it seems impossible that this stamp would have been canceled in the Czech town.
Note the little hook under the S. Any help with IDing this place of cancel will be appreciated.

Thank you. I come up with a BOROSNEU.
Seems to me that there's enough space left after the N on the stamp that there's not going to be another letter, although there could possibly have been another word after that space.
So, still looking....

What I found was a PDF written in Romanian and I converted it to English. In there, there was a reference to a BOROSINEU commune (in Arad county). It could be the spelling changed over the years. With the cancel, I see the B is further away from the O than the other letters, so perhaps there is an E with the same spacing. That all said, I have no idea if this makes any sense. It's just something I stumbled upon while searching for BOROSIN.

It was Boro[sh]ineu, now it's Ineu, in Arad County.

It could be Orosin.
I found the name in a work about the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Banat in 1760.



After WWI Banat was divided between Romania, Serbia and Hungary.
Orosin is probably the current Rusko Selo in Serbia
