現代語訳
子（バナナ）、甘蔗、石榴、橘、柿があるが、梅や桃李の類はない。草花では山丹、芙蓉、風蘭、月橘、名護菊、栗菊、盛花、沢藤等が少なくない。近時は煙草を栽培している。木では赤木があり、その性質は堅緻で、紫紅色で白い木理がある。棕櫚木の類で（俗にカシ木と言う）、黒木は即ち会典に所謂鳥木である。蘓銕の所謂鳳尾蕉、榆（俗にカツマルと言う）、木犀（俗にキイハと言う）、阿檀、福木（デゴ、ヤラフ、マネと言い、並びに皆その俗称で詳細は不明）。隋書に所謂闘樓樹とあるが、『使琉球録』では土産にその樹がないとしており、即今国人も詳しくないと言っている。
禽鳥では、綾鳩、黒鶉がおり、また異色のものもいる（俗にミノウツラと言う）。蝙蝠は八重山に産するものはその形が極めて大きい。その他の野鳥の類はいるが鶴、鶬鶏はなく、鴻雁は来ない。秋月の候、鷹、隼及び小雀で南から来るものが多い。
家畜では馬牛犬豚、野獣では麋鹿など無いものはないが、虎豹犀象はいない。また異色の猫も産する。虫類では蛇、蝎の類が最も多く、毒蛇が凡そ七種、蝎も人を刺すことができる。壁間にいて雀のように騒がしく鳴くもの、春夏の交わりに赤卒が南から来ることも多い。
鱗介類では海から出る白魚があり、海馬とも名付けられ、馬の首で魚の身、皮は厚くて青く、その肉は鹿のようで、人は常にこれを食べる。馬蛟、龍蝦の類も、亦皆いる。
【欄外注記】牛は即ち水牛のことである。
英語訳
There are bananas, sugar cane, pomegranates, oranges, and persimmons, but no plums, peaches, or similar fruits. Among grasses and flowers, there are many tiger lilies, hibiscus, wind orchids, orange jasmine, Nago chrysanthemums, chestnut chrysanthemums, flowering plants, and marsh wisteria. Recently, tobacco has been cultivated.
Among trees, there is red wood, which is hard and dense in nature, purple-red in color with white grain. It is a type of palm wood (commonly called kashi wood). Black wood is what the official records call "bird wood." There are also what Su Tie called phoenix-tail banana, elm (commonly called katsumaru), osmanthus (commonly called kiiha), sandalwood, and fortune tree (called dego, yarafu, and mane - all local names whose details are unclear). The Sui History mentions the "fighting tower tree," but the "Record of Missions to Ryukyu" states that this tree is not a local product, and even today the people of the country say they are not familiar with it.
Among birds, there are turtle doves and black quail, including those of unusual colors (commonly called mino-utsura). Bats from Yaeyama are extremely large in form. Other wild birds are present, but there are no cranes or jungle fowl, and wild geese do not come. During autumn months, many hawks, falcons, and small sparrows come from the south.
For livestock, there are horses, cattle, dogs, and pigs; for wild animals, there are deer and others - nothing is lacking, but there are no tigers, leopards, rhinoceros, or elephants. They also produce cats of unusual colors. Among insects, snakes and scorpions are most numerous, with about seven types of venomous snakes. Scorpions can also sting people. Those that dwell in wall crevices and make noise like sparrows, and red soldiers that come from the south during the transition between spring and summer, are also numerous.
Among scaled and shelled creatures, there are white fish from the sea, also called sea horses, with horse heads and fish bodies, thick blue skin, and meat like deer, which people commonly eat. Horse dragons, lobsters, and similar creatures are also all present.
[Marginal note] Cattle refers to water buffalo.
