現代語訳
（前頁より続く）三名ほどのお奉行が、社屋一棟ずつの前に立って吟味（検分）をされた。すると社司・氏人が出合い（集まり）、種々の神秘（神社の秘事）とは言いながらも、奉行のお尋ねゆえに、社屋の詳細をひとつひとつ言上（申し上げ）した。社司としては、神主・高久、正禰宜・用久、貴布祢禰宜・説久、氏人としては、清治・氏孝・氏昭・氏護・衆顕・重信・保只治・直ら、社僧としては常證坊少輔・教学院らが出席した。
まず片岡社の前から、細殿・橋殿・経所・小経所・土屋・御所屋・庁屋・御料屋・贄殿・神宮寺・湯屋以下、一棟ずつ、檜皮葺き・こけら葺き・瓦葺き等の吟味（確認）をし、また節なし・節ありの柱、さらに天井についてもあれこれと吟味をして、御大工・大和守の下代（代官）である権右衛門が執筆（書き記す役）として一々書き付け、引き上げられた。その後、惣中（社中全体）より一献（酒宴）を差し上げた。
一 二十六日、曇り。陰陽師の内膳（宗勝〔朱書〕）より、若宮の柱立ての日時に関する勘文（吉日を占って申し上げる文書）が提出された。すなわち、惣中に（その写しが）届いた。
一 二十八日、天晴れ。昨日、五味殿より御使いとして、森・松下の雑掌（庶務担当の下役）両名が遣わされた。その趣旨は、当年中に、有分（格式ある・重要な）の神社・社屋・堂・寺家以下を悉く御建立（建て替え）されるべきとのことであった。そのため、その件につき用所（必要な事柄・用向き）があれこれとあることにより、出向くようにとの申し越しがあった。そこで今日、高久・用久・衆顕・季定の四名が出向いた。また、この機会を利用して、若宮・新宮の地祭（地鎮祭）の料（費用・資料）についての訴訟（申し立て・要望）を——

(Continued from the previous page) — The two or three officials inspected each shrine building, standing before them one by one. The shrine officials (shashi) and ujibito (shrine-affiliated persons/clan members) gathered to meet them, and although various matters were of a sacred and secret nature (shinpi), given that the commissioners (bugyō) were making inquiries, they reported the details of each building one by one. Among the shrine officials (shashi) present were: the head priest (kannagi/kannushi), Takahisa; the senior priest (shōnegi), Mochiisa; and the Kibune negi, Tokuhisa. Among the ujibito were: Seiji, Ujitaka, Ujiaki, Ujimori, Shūken, Shigenobu, Hoji, Nao, and others. Among the shrine monks (shasō), Jōshōbō Shōyu, Gakugakuin, and others attended.
Beginning from in front of the Kataoka Shrine, the officials proceeded to inspect each building in turn — the Hosodono, Hashidono, Kyōsho, Ko-kyōsho, Tsuchiya, Goshonya, Chōya, Goryōya, Nieden, Jingūji, Yuya, and others — examining each one with regard to whether the roofing was of cypress bark (hiwadabuki), shingle (kokerabuki), or tile (kawarabuki), and also scrutinizing the pillars as to whether they were knotless or knotted, as well as the ceilings, and so forth. The deputy (gedai) of the master carpenter (odaiku) Yamato-no-kami, one Gonemon, served as scribe, recording everything in writing, after which they departed. The shrine community (sōchū) then offered them a round of drinks (ikkon).
1. The twenty-sixth day. Overcast. A divination document (kanmon) regarding the auspicious date and time for the column-raising ceremony (hashira-date) of the Wakamiya was submitted by the yin-yang diviner (onmyōji) Naizen (Munekatsu [in red ink]). A copy thereof was received by the shrine community (sōchū).
2. The twenty-eighth day. Clear skies. Yesterday, Lord Gomi dispatched two zassho (administrative assistants/clerks) — Mori and Matsushita — as his messengers. The substance of their message was that all significant (ariwake) shrines, shrine buildings, halls, and temple structures should be entirely rebuilt in the course of this year. For this reason, as there were various matters requiring attention in connection with this project, a request came for representatives to present themselves. Accordingly, four persons — Takahisa, Mochiisa, Shūken, and Suefuki — went to meet them today. Furthermore, taking this opportunity, they raised the matter of a petition (soshō) concerning the expenses for the jisai (ground-purification ceremony, or jichinsai) for the Wakamiya and Shingū —
