persons for whose benefit the notice is being filed; (3) Contain an accurate and full description of all land affected by the notice, which
description shall be set forth in particular terms and not by general inclusions,

the notice may be the same as that contained in such recorded instrument; (4) State the name of each record owner of the land affected by the notice, at the time
of its recording, together with the recording information of the instrument by which

testify concerning them in court. (B) The notice shall be filed for record in the office of the county recorder of the

stated insofar as they affect title to the land affected by that notice. (D) Any person who knowingly makes any false statement in a notice executed under this
section is guilty of perjury under section 2921.11 of the Revised Code .
