Mobley, Justice.

“An unascertained or disputed boundary line between coterminous proprietors may be established either (1) by oral agreement if the agreement be accompanied by actual possession to the agreed line or is otherwise executed; or (2) by acquiescence for seven years, by acts or declarations of owners of adjoining land, as provided by the Code, § 85-1602.” Hickox v. Griffin, 205 Ga. 859 (55 SE2d 351).

In the case now under consideration the evidence indicates that the boundary line propounded by the defendant has been established by both of the above methods.
