現代語訳
一 千二百両 六月七日夜吉原総女仕込み料 締めて二千四百両という
乗邨按ずるに、右の高尾の事より榊原侯は播州姫路から越後高田に転封されたという。いかにして伝わったのであろうか。越後蒲原郡寺社村の長（大肝煎）小菅左内の家に、榊原侯が高尾に送ったという硯箱がある。堅地の金梨地に源氏車の紋を高蒔絵にして、萩の模様がある。予も巡村の折、左内の家に宿泊して見たが、尋常の物とは見えなかった。
一 右の条を記したより、ふと思い出したのは寛延四年未年の事である。越後高田で大地震があり、榊原侯の御届の写しがあったのでここに記す。

英語訳
One: 1,200 ryō - expenses for all courtesans in Yoshiwara on the night of the seventh day of the sixth month. Total: 2,400 ryō, it is said.
Jōson's note: Due to this Takao affair, Lord Sakakibara was transferred from Harima Province Himeji to Echigo Takada, it is said. How this story was passed down is unclear, but in the house of Kosuge Sanai, the village headman (ōkimoiri) of Jisha Village in Kambara District, Echigo Province, there is an inkstone box said to have been sent by Lord Sakakibara to Takao. It is made of solid ground with gold nashiji lacquer, featuring the Genji cart mon in raised maki-e with bush clover decoration. When I stayed at Sanai's house during my village inspection rounds, I saw it myself, and it did not appear to be an ordinary item.
One: Having written about the above matter, I was suddenly reminded of events from the fourth year of Kan'en, the year of the sheep. There was a great earthquake in Echigo Takada, and I had a copy of Lord Sakakibara's official report, which I record here.
At my domain of Takada in Echigo Province, due to an earthquake at the hour of the ox on the twenty-fifth day of the fourth month, a record of damage to the castle interior, retainer residences, castle town, and countryside:
One: 157 samurai residences collapsed, One: 44 of the same severely damaged
One: 63 stipend-receiving tenements collapsed, One: 8 of the same severely damaged, One: 6 ashigaru tenements collapsed
One: Over 500 residences housing samurai and ashigaru who currently have no official residences and are placed in town houses collapsed
One: 33 deaths among retainer families (15 men, 18 women), One: Many injuries among townspeople and rural inhabitants combined
One: Of 2,922 town houses (2,496 collapsed, 326 damaged)
One: Of 196 town storehouses (46 collapsed, 155 damaged)
One: Of 282 townspeople deaths (108 men, 174 women)
One: 2 post station horses died, One: 8 horses injured
One: Much damage and loss to sake, oil, and all liquid goods containers in town commerce
One: Three fires in the town during the earthquake
