領内の人力を尽くし、また近隣の水害を被る可能性のある村々からも多数の人を出して精一杯普請を行いましたが、この度の洪大な水勢には万分の一の防御にもならず、暫時のうちに押し流されました。兼ねて御届け申し上げた犀川筋の押し埋まった湛水三ヶ所のうち、小市村渡船場北方の真神山が抜け崩れた件は、高さ二十間程、南北八十間程、東西五十間程が川筋へ押し出し、残った川幅はわずか七間程となりました。そのまま放置しては少しの水でも切り込むことになるため、できる限り掘り取るよう申し付けましたが、とても人力の及ぶところではありません。この度の水で忽ちに押し流され、百数十人で動かす程の大石を川下或いは

河辺村内の耕地等まで押し出し、小市村の突出した辺りは水位が六丈余りにも及びました。川辺村の内でも、とりわけ四ツ谷村については、軒別八十軒余りのうち六七十軒が残るはずでしたが、悉く流失し、跡地は一円に河原となりました。その他の村は地震で倒壊した家屋が残らず押し流され、その上山中筋の水害を受けた村々の流失した家屋が水面に浮いているため、繋ぎ留めて置いたところ、湛え溜まった大水が一時に押し払ったため、いずれも縄が切れました。その外、山中筋両岸の山等が多分に欠け落ちたため大木等も一度に流出し、水に押し下され家屋に突きかかり、これがために押し倒され流失したものも夥しく、流死八人程、流家六百二十七軒程、その

Although we exhausted all available manpower within the domain and had many people dispatched from neighboring villages that might also suffer flood damage to carry out construction work with utmost effort, against this enormous flood force it provided not even one ten-thousandth of adequate defense and was swept away in a short time. Regarding the collapse of Mount Majin north of Koichi Village ferry crossing, one of the three locations where the Sai River channel was blocked by debris (as previously reported): an area approximately twenty ken high, eighty ken north-south, and fifty ken east-west was pushed into the river channel, leaving only about seven ken of remaining river width. Since leaving it as-is would cause erosion even with small amounts of water, I ordered as much excavation as possible, but this was far beyond human capability. The current flood instantly swept away massive stones that would require over a hundred people to move, pushing them downstream or to

the farmlands within Kawabe Village and other areas. Around the protruding area of Koichi Village, the water level reached over six jō. Within Kawabe Village, particularly in Yotsuya Village, although sixty to seventy of the eighty-some households should have remained, all were completely swept away, leaving the entire area as riverbed. In other villages, all houses that had collapsed in the earthquake were swept away, and moreover, houses from flood-affected villages in the mountain areas were floating on the water surface. Although we had tied them down, when the accumulated floodwater suddenly surged through, all the ropes snapped. Furthermore, as mountains on both banks of the mountain river areas largely collapsed, large trees also flowed out all at once, were pushed downstream by the water and crashed into houses, causing them to be knocked down and swept away in great numbers. There were approximately eight flood deaths and approximately 627 houses swept away, and
