From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Surbed \Sur*bed"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Surbedded}; p. pr. & vb.
      n. {Surbedding}.] [Pref. sur- + bed.]
      To set edgewise, as a stone; that is, to set it in a position
      different from that which it had in the quarry.
  
               It . . . has something of a grain parallel with the
               horizon, and therefore should not be surbedded.
                                                                              --Gilbert
                                                                              White.
