現代語訳
言えれば、その旨それぞれの役人中へ申し通し、そのままにて通りけり。既にその日は十月四日七つ時より引き先の纏真っ先に八九本折れ立ち、暮方に残らず小諸を過ぎにけり。さて、それよりも悪党は布の下にて文右衛門を潰し、小県へと押し寄する先、同勢を二手に分け、一手は街道筋を押し寄せ、二の手は在郷道を通り村々へ掛かり、先方への加勢に家一軒より一人ずつ出よ、さもなくば火を掛けると口々に脅りければ、是非なく、これに同じ引き連れられて行きながら、道にて隠れ忍び帰る者もあり、また大勢に取り巻かれうかうかと行く者もあり。朴屋にて幸三郎を潰し、それより上道通りの先手は松平市正御地行所御張付所左衛門を潰し、土蔵酒屋に至るまで残らず火を掛け散々に焼失に。それより右役所元禰津へ掛かり質屋久左衛門を潰し、東上田村にて丈右衛門を潰し、それより松平伊賀守領分田中宿庄屋長五郎を潰し、海善寺村清三郎を潰し、仙石治左衛門知行所小井田村庄屋宗右衛門を潰し、赤坂村酒屋市郎右衛門は先手の者どもへ金百両出し詫びれば、相違なく立ち退きし所へ二の手の大勢にて打ち潰す。
英語訳
When they said this, the message was conveyed to the respective officials, and they were allowed to pass through as requested. That day was already October 4th, and from the seventh hour (around 4 PM), the leading banners - eight or nine of them broken and raised at the front - passed through Komoro completely by evening. From there, the rioters destroyed Bunemon's place at Nunoshita and advanced toward Chiisagata. They divided their forces into two groups: one hand pushed along the main highway, while the second hand took country roads through villages, threatening each household to provide one person to reinforce the advance, or else they would set fire to their homes. With no choice, some were dragged along with them, though some hid along the way and secretly returned home, while others were surrounded by the crowd and went along in confusion. They destroyed Kōzaburō's place at Hoboya, then the advance guard destroyed Zaemon's place at Matsudaira Ichimasa's administrative post, and set fire to everything including warehouses and sake shops, causing extensive destruction. From there they proceeded to the administrative office at Nezu, destroyed the pawnshop of Kyūzaemon, destroyed Jōemon's place in Higashi-Ueda village, then destroyed village headman Chōgorō of Tanaka-juku in Matsudaira Iga-no-kami's domain, destroyed Seizaburō in Kaizenji village, destroyed village headman Sōemon of Koida village in Sengoku Jizaemon's domain. At Akasaka village, sake dealer Ichirōemon offered one hundred ryō in gold to the advance party and apologized, so they withdrew without incident, but then the second wave arrived in great numbers and destroyed his place anyway.
