現代語訳
〔前頁より続く〕……代官中からの指図によって、作法（神事）が始まる前に、烏踊りの刀祢に申し付けて取り置かせた。もっとも、始めから終わりまで同人に申し付けるものである。
二十四日（癸丑） 曇り。かねて代官中からの催しがあり、今日、競馬会の両日分の装束一式の風入れ（虫干し）を行った〔もっとも、かねて人歩四人を五郎太郎へ申し付け置いたこと〕。これにより、朝飯後より装束奉行の敦久・充顕〔各々大帷子・指貫着用〕、代官の泰顕〔張顕代〕・保行・季式〔矩顕代〕・保逞等〔各々浄衣、または大帷子・浄衣の下着〕が出頭した。経千は頭人として、忍び（内密に）貴船へ参向したため、代官の方へは参らなかった。右の出頭者のうち一人が所司大夫の亭へ出向き、庁屋の鍵を請け取り、切板より上の蔀を上下ともに取り外した。次に高倉より長持〔五棹〕、神主の両階下（ふたつの階段下）の同（同じく）太刀箱、楽人装束箱、陰陽（師）装束箱などを取り出して、庁屋に広げ置いた。これが終わってから、それぞれに樟脳を入れ、元のとおりに箱に納めた。ただし、大刀二振りに損傷があったため、修理を申し付けることとし、取り出して装束奉行に渡し置いた。なお、今朝、評議所へ代官中から書付にて人歩（人夫）を取りに遣わした品々は以下の通りである。
一、樟脳 二十両 半紙 一折 茶〔袋共〕 割木 茶釜 鉄輪 手桶 杓（柄杓）共
かつまた、今日これに際し、先規の通り代官中より持参の酒肴の賄いを、経千亭より調えて遣わした。その品は以下の通りである。ただし近例云々。
一、酒 二升〔樽〕 煮染め 三種〔棒鱈・焼き豆腐・小芋〕 堺重の三（段目）に入れて、浸し物〔菜・柚〕〔小重に入れて〕 杉箸 十膳 盃 二枚 手塩皿 七枚 ちろり（燗徳利） 一 等を添えて、巳半刻ごろに人夫を取りに来させ、遣わした。もっとも、中飯（昼食）は各々独弁当持参である。
右のように、それぞれ装束の類を箱に納め終わったところで、装束奉行一人・代官一人等が合わせて封印を施し、高倉に納めた。各々退散した。その時、庁屋は元のとおりに片付け、鍵は所司大夫へ返却した。
一、今日の序（ついで）に、来る十月朔日の道具渡しの担当者二人を定め置いたこと。
十月（小の月）
朔日（庚申） 晴れ。代官は経威・契清・清緒・保秀・清嗣等。充は経威で、経威は志顕（の代）……

〔虫払いのこと、雨天の場合は延引、これはもちろんのことである〕
英語訳
[Continued from the previous page] ……By order of the district officials (代官中), before the ritual commenced, the Katana-ne (刀祢) of the Karasu-odori (烏踊り, crow dance) was instructed to remove and set aside [the sacred rope]. Furthermore, the same person was to be put in charge from beginning to end.
24th day (Mizunoto-Ushi, 癸丑): Cloudy. Following a prior notification from the district officials, today the airing out (虫払い, literally "insect removal," i.e., airing to prevent insect damage) of all costumes for both days of the horse-racing meeting (競馬会) was carried out. [Note: Four laborers had previously been assigned to Gorōtarō for this purpose.] From after breakfast, the Costume Magistrates (装束奉行) Atsuhisa and Mitsuteru [each wearing large katabira (大帷子) and sashinuki (指貫)], and the district officials Yasuteru [acting for Chōken], Yasuyuki, Suenori [acting for Norikazu], and Yasunori, etc. [each wearing either a ceremonial white robe (浄衣) or a large katabira over an under-robe] presented themselves. Keisen, as chief celebrant (頭人), had quietly departed to Kifune Shrine and thus did not attend the district officials' gathering. One of the assembled officials went to the residence of the Shoshi-tayū (所司大夫, chief administrator) to collect the key to the administrative hall (庁屋), and removed the upper and lower lattice shutters (蔀) above the cutting board. Next, from the high storehouse (高倉), five long chests (長持), the sword boxes from below both staircases of the shrine priests' hall, the costume boxes for musicians, and the costume boxes for the Onmyōji (陰陽師, yin-yang masters) were brought out and laid open in the administrative hall. Once this was done, camphor was placed in each, and they were repacked into the boxes as before. However, since two of the long swords were found to be damaged, they were set aside to be sent for repair and were handed over to the Costume Magistrates. This morning, the following items were sent via written request (書付) from the district officials to the deliberation chamber (評議所) for laborers to collect:
• Camphor: 20 ryō • Hanshi paper: 1 fold • Tea [with pouch] • Firewood (split) • Tea kettle • Iron trivet • Wooden bucket with ladle
Furthermore, on this occasion and in accordance with established precedent, sake and food provisions, brought along by the district officials as has been customary, were prepared and dispatched from Keisen's residence. The items were as follows (based on recent precedent):
• Sake: 2 shō [in a barrel] • Simmered dishes (煮染め): 3 varieties [dried pollock (棒鱈), grilled tofu (焼き豆腐), baby taro (小芋)] placed in the third tier of a Sakai-jū (堺重, tiered Sakai lacquerware box) • Marinated vegetables (浸し物) [greens and yuzu] [placed in a small tiered box] • Cedar chopsticks: 10 sets • Drinking cups: 2 • Personal salt dishes (手塩皿): 7 • Chirori (燗徳利, sake warming vessel): 1 and other items. Around the half-hour of the Hour of the Snake (巳半刻, approximately 10:30 a.m.), laborers were sent to collect them. Note: Each person brought their own lunch (弁当) for the midday meal.
After all the costume items had been packed away, one Costume Magistrate and one district official together applied the official seal (封印) and stored the boxes in the high storehouse. Everyone then dispersed. At that time, the administrative hall was tidied up as it had been before, and the key was returned to the Shoshi-tayū.
• Also on this occasion, the two persons responsible for handing over the equipment on the first day of the Tenth Month were designated.
Tenth Month (short month, 小):
1st day (Kanoe-Saru, 庚申): Clear. The district officials were Tsunatake, Norikiyo, Kiyoo, Yasuhide, Kiyotsugu, and others. The one to fill in (充) was Tsunatake; Tsunatake was [acting for] Yukiaki——
[Marginal note at top:]
[Regarding the insect-airing (虫払い): in the event of rain, postponement is a matter of course.]
