現代語訳

信州中之条御代官川上金五郎からの風聞調査書、絵図添付。三月二十四日夜四つ時頃、突然大地震が発生した。中之条陣屋の構えや築地塀の大半が揺れ崩れたが、建物には別段異常はなかった。陣屋の元となる村々も同様で、庇などが震動で落下したが、倒壊家屋や怪我人などはいなかった。陣内でも庭中に野営を張り、本宅に住居している者はいない。同夜明け方までに八、九十度も大小の振動があった。翌二十五日から月末まで振動は日々百五十度、あるいは百度程度ずつ、その内大震が五、六度ずつあった。当月一日から五日までは日々三、四十度ずつ間遠になったが、その内大震が二、三度ずつあり、今でも振動は止まない。まだ村々では野宿をしている者が多くいる。

一、支配地である水内郡の内に六ヶ村、民家がすべて倒壊同様で死人が多い場所があるが、その他は破損箇所の方が多く、見分の手代を派遣しているが、まだ調査が完了していない。

一、松代藩領の水内郡の内で「山中」と呼ばれる一郷があり、三万石の場所であるが、その村々は特に地震が強く、山崩れが村毎にあり、家屋はことごとく倒壊し、死人も夥しい。同郡水内橋の下...

Report of rumors and investigations with attached drawings from Kawakami Kingoro, magistrate of Nakanojo in Shinano Province. Around the fourth hour of the night on March 24th, a great earthquake suddenly occurred. Most of the fortifications and earthen walls of the Nakanojo magistrate's office (jinya) collapsed from the shaking, but the buildings themselves suffered no particular damage. The villages under the magistrate's office were similarly affected, with eaves and other structures falling due to the tremors, but there were no collapsed houses or injured persons. Within the magistrate's compound, people set up temporary shelters in the courtyards, with no one residing in the main buildings. From that night until dawn, there were eighty to ninety tremors of various magnitudes. From the 25th until the end of the month, there were 150 tremors daily, or about 100, including five to six major earthquakes each day. From the first to the fifth of this month, the frequency decreased to thirty to forty tremors daily at longer intervals, but still included two to three major earthquakes each time, and the tremors continue even now. Many people in the villages are still sleeping outdoors.
