In griffith's intro to electrodynamics (4rth edition), ch. 3, pg. 121.
here is the second uniqueness thrm for the solutions to laplace's equation:
the only part I'm confused about is, in the beginning where he says "in a volume V surrounded by conductors and containing a specified charge density ρ"
Q: is the charge density ρ referring to that belonging to the region of space whose potential we're trying to determine? or is it referring to that of the conductor/insulator?
thanks

Second uniqueness thrm: In a volume V surrounded by conductors and containing a specified charge density ρ, the electric field is uniquely determined if the total charge on each conductor is given.
