《割書：六日依洪水不詣木船事｜》【朱書】
明六日如旧例川上之社ヘ参詣ニ赴ク旹近年無之

現代語訳
候や。然らば社中へ訴え申すと云々。再答に言う「いかにも畏れ入る」由。故に無事である。総じて金津は負け競馬として社頭へ参らず出でざるは古法故、かくの如く後代の記録とするものである。
明六日、旧例の如く川上の社へ参詣に赴く時、近年にない大雨故、早々大鼓鐘を鳴らして在所が騒動となれども、川上に詣でる時、市原橋が危険である由を里人が申すゆえ、毘沙門堂から帰して、橋南なる神明にて祈って順酒する。再び新宮前にて奉幣する。
時に初乗の内、保朗一人が申すには「帰里して会所にて夕飯を仕るべきなり。何れも烏帽子下ばかりにて御出座あるべき」由である。
答えに十九人の一老氏縄が返答して言う「今日は大雨洪水なれば、在所が動揺すべきなり。然る処に浄衣にして各々会所の祝儀飯は然るべからず。ただ延引すべし」と。再び初乗一人が申す「物の費用ありて、足りて致すべし」と。神号を以て申す。三人の所作、一人として誓詞の返答に不足の義として、氏縄は不同心と云々。
時に道中にて昌平が氏縄に向かって内談と言って曰く「初乗の言い分は不足なり。去れども祝儀なれば、ただ忌子屋にてはいかが」と言う。
氏縄答えて言う「これは可なるかな」として、忌子屋にて執行する。時にいよいよ大雨が募り大洪水故、公堤並びに河原辺の田地が大損し、別して社内馬場の大水は古今稀なり。即ち河尾社を精進頭・乗尻中が合して桜門の内に舁き入れ奉り、中門の内に遷し奉る。
英語訳
"Is that so? Then we shall make an appeal to the shrine community," etc. The second reply said, "Indeed, I humbly accept." Therefore, the matter was resolved peacefully. Generally, when Kanatsu loses in horse racing, he does not appear at the shrine front according to ancient law, so this is recorded for future generations.
On the morning of the 6th day, when going to visit Kawakami Shrine according to old custom, due to unprecedented heavy rain in recent years, the large drum and bell were struck early and the locality was in commotion. However, when visiting Kawakami, the villagers reported that Ichihara Bridge was dangerous, so they returned from Bishamondō, prayed at the Shinmei shrine south of the bridge, and performed libations. They made offerings again at the front of the New Shrine.
At that time, one of the first riders, Hōrō, said alone: "We should return to our village and have evening meals at the meeting place. Everyone should attend wearing only eboshi caps."
In reply, Ujinawa, one elder among the nineteen people, responded: "Today there is heavy rain and flooding, so the locality will be disturbed. Under such circumstances, wearing pure robes and having ceremonial meals at each meeting place would not be appropriate. We should simply postpone it." Again, one first rider said: "There are expenses for provisions, but we have enough to carry it out." He spoke invoking the divine name. Regarding the actions of the three people, since not even one person's sworn response was adequate, Ujinawa disagreed.
At that time, on the road, Shōhei approached Ujinawa for private consultation, saying: "The first riders' arguments are insufficient. However, since this is a celebration, what about holding it simply at the imiko-ya (purification hut)?"
Ujinawa replied: "That would be acceptable," and it was carried out at the imiko-ya. As the heavy rain intensified and caused great flooding, the public embankments and fields near the riverbank suffered great damage. Particularly, the great flood in the shrine's horse racing grounds was unprecedented in ancient and modern times. Immediately, the head of purification and the jockeys together carried the Kawao Shrine into the Sakura Gate and relocated it within the Middle Gate.
