  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.

  White.
