現代語訳
お忍びのために初めて御出座された。近年、所司代が長らく御出座されることがなかったが、
当年の御出座は近年の始まりである云々
正徳六年《割書：改元して享保元年》
《割書：四日大雨につき競馬を延引すべきか否かの事》【朱書】
五月四日大雨で夜になっても止まず、これにより明日所司代の御馬、警固等が
当所の河を渡るのが困難であろうかということで、相談のため夕方になって立ち合いの
小寄合があった。まず引き橋の内の惣代両人並びに従者各々が
河を渡って窪御堂に宿泊することになった。また西賀茂の神人等も
今夕より河を渡って手当所に宿泊する手筈であるとの衆議が一決した。まず今日
中に夜になっても惣代が所司代のもとに参上し、明日の件を
伺うのがよいだろう。それについて雨により競馬延引の例が近代にはない
《割書：私見では所司代の御馬が出されることは板倉周防守が所司代役を務めた頃からのことか》
のか。往古の例であっても書付で御尋ねの時に差し出すように惣代が
持参するのがよいとの旨が一決した。これにより各々先例を心得ている衆に
尋ねられたということで、私の舅である紀清が評席から私のところに来て
雨による延引の例があれば書き出すようにと示された。
成連久も先例を考えるため、ただ今評席より下って云々
私が心得ている例を即座に一紙に書き付けて紀清に託して出した。
その案を左に記す。
《割書：五日雨により競馬延引の例書》【朱書】

甚だしい雨故か延引し、同年二十二日に執行された。室町殿が御
見物されるため、今日執行するのである。
英語訳
for the purpose of informal observation, he made his first appearance. In recent years, the Shoshidai had not made an appearance for a long time,
but this year's appearance marks the beginning in recent years, and so forth.
Shōtoku 6th year《Marginal note: Era changed to Kyōhō 1st year》
《Marginal note: Matter of whether the horse race should be postponed due to heavy rain on the 4th day》【In red ink】
On May 4th there was heavy rain that did not cease even into the night, and due to this, tomorrow the Shoshidai's horses, guards, etc.
might have difficulty crossing the river at this location, so for consultation there was a standing meeting
of a small assembly that lasted until evening. First, the two representatives within the drawbridge area and their respective attendants would
cross the river and lodge at Kubo-midō. Also, the shrine servants of Nishi-Kamo and others
would cross the river from this evening and lodge at the designated location, as unanimously decided by the assembly. First, during today,
even if it becomes night, the representatives should visit the Shoshidai and
inquire about tomorrow's arrangements, which would be appropriate. Regarding this, there are no recent examples of postponing horse races due to rain
《Marginal note: In my opinion, the matter of the Shoshidai's horses being brought out dates from the time when Itakura Suō-no-kami served as Shoshidai》
or not. Even if it is an ancient precedent, it was unanimously decided that the representatives should
bring written documents to present when inquired about in writing.
Due to this, when various people knowledgeable about precedents were
consulted, my father-in-law Kiyokiyo came from the council meeting to my place
and instructed that if there were examples of postponement due to rain, they should be written out.
Naretsunehisa also descended from the council meeting just now to consider precedents, and so forth.
I immediately wrote down the precedent I knew on a sheet of paper and entrusted it to Kiyokiyo to submit.
That draft is recorded below.
《Marginal note: Document on precedents for postponing horse races on the 5th day due to rain》【In red ink】
One: The shrine family records state, the Bunmei records state, that the ritual horses of May 5th, Bunmei 9th year,
were postponed perhaps due to severe rain, and were performed on the 22nd of the same month. Because the Muromachi lord would
observe the event, it was performed on that day.
