Iwajūrō of Nishimachi Village traveled to the site on the tenth and eleventh days [of the sixth month] to conduct the inspection. An inspection was also conducted on the sixteenth day (exact date uncertain), and then on the nineteenth and twentieth days a joint inspection was carried out with both parties present.

On the twenty-second day of [the fourth month?], [the official] returned, and on the twenty-third day, went out again and reported the details [to the authorities].
