現代語訳

信濃守は築山の上において松平伊豆守、戸田左門と見ていたが、使者を使うには及ばないとの段を制止され、各々左門の陣屋へ集合した。翌二十八日の総攻めの評議があったところ、信濃守の先手について従軍していた牢人の篠原源右衛門、田坂左衛門等が出丸の内を見物しようと言うのはもっともだとして、信濃守の家代である田代孫右衛門、同源太左衛門、この他二、三人が出丸へ入って見た。同所に榊原左衛門が居合わせ、後から入った飛騨守の家来が見ると、飛騨守は既に各々が上っていた築山の上に残り留まっているのか。家来がこの趣を告げて来たので、急いで信濃守は仕寄場へ走り行って「乗れ、乗れ」と指示を下した。信濃

守の先手の軍士等はどのようであろうかと申し上げるのか。飛騨守はこの手に付いた目付であるから、どうして争いがあろうかと言ったので、各々取り物も取り敢えずに、素肌で入った者もあったという。左衛門、源右衛門は戦闘の先頭に進んで働いたと言えども、牢人故であろうか、信濃守家来の先駆けの目録には無い。この者共が二の丸へ進み入った時、飛騨守と左衛門は出丸の内の右の例の角にあったという。しかしながら御旗本として進み、早く出丸へ入ったが故に一番乗りとしたのであろうかという事である。

また曰く、同二十七日、鍋島信濃守の家来が出丸から二の丸へ

英語訳

Shinano-no-kami was observing from atop the constructed hill with Matsudaira Izu-no-kami and Toda Samon, but when the decision was made that there was no need to use messengers, everyone gathered at Samon's camp. When there was a council of war for the general assault on the following 28th day, regarding Shinano-no-kami's advance guard, masterless samurai (ronin) Shinohara Gen'emon, Tasaka Saemon and others said it would be reasonable to go observe the inside of the outer bailey. Agreeing with this, Shinano-no-kami's house representatives Tashiro Mago'emon and the same Genta Saemon, along with two or three others, entered the outer bailey to observe. Sakakibara Saemon was present at the same location, and when Hida-no-kami's retainers who entered afterward looked, they wondered whether Hida-no-kami remained on the constructed hill where everyone had climbed up. When his retainers came to report this situation, Shinano-no-kami hurriedly ran to the siege works and gave the order "Mount the attack! Mount the attack!" Shinano-

no-kami's advance guard warriors wondered what they should do. Since Hida-no-kami was an inspector (metsuke) attached to this unit, why should there be any dispute? Therefore, everyone rushed in without even taking up their weapons properly, and some even entered half-naked. Although Saemon and Gen'emon advanced to the front of battle and fought well, perhaps because they were masterless samurai, they were not included in the official record of Shinano-no-kami's retainers who led the charge. When these men advanced into the second bailey, Hida-no-kami and Saemon were said to be at the usual corner on the right side inside the outer bailey. Nevertheless, advancing as direct shogunal retainers and entering the outer bailey early, they were perhaps credited with the first breach.

It is also said that on the same 27th day, retainers of Nabeshima Shinano-no-kami went from the outer bailey to the second bailey.
