現代語訳
本日、寄合（会合）があり、氏子の中から披露（申し出）があった。保嘉兼の申し立てによれば、双方とも取り合わず、是非を論じるに及ばなかった。尊顕の田から水を取っているため、溝（用水路）の稲五束ずつを、岡本町の新左衛門が毎年納めるよう申し付けられたところ、「畏れ入ります」との返答であった。しかしながら、当年はワタ（綿または畑作物）を作付けしているので、来年よりそのように致しましょうと申したとのことである。そうであれば、爪地（端地・境界の土地）であれば水を通さないということになるか、と理屈を申したとのことである。
一、柊野にて昨日、鹿を殺したとのこと。矢銭（賠償金）二貫ほど遣わすべきか、遣わすべきとのことである。スキ与次郎の跡目のことについて（記録あり）。
十二日 卯の刻、御祭（祭礼）はいつも通り。楽人衆八人、本日初めて鐘鼓が行われた。
十三日 寄合があった。江戸より飛脚の書状が届いた。去る月の二十八日に登城して御目見の御礼を申し上げ、本日、貴布祢谷の者二人が寺社御奉行・板倉石見守殿にて御礼を申し度いと申し出たので、御尋ねがあり、長年の申し立て、殊に寛文四年の御裁許の趣旨、それ以来の様子について詳しく申し上げたところ、貴布祢谷の者は御礼の儀は成し難いとして追い出された。御朱印を持参したとのことである。御暇（暇乞い・お暇）が出ないため、逗留しているとのことである。
英語訳
Today there was a meeting (yoriai), at which a matter was presented by a shrine parishioner (ujiko). According to the statement of Hokakane, both parties refused to come to terms, and it was deemed unnecessary to debate the rights and wrongs of the matter. Since water was being drawn from Sonken's rice field, it was ordered that Shin'emon of Okamoto-machi should offer five bundles of rice from the irrigation ditch annually, to which he replied that he was most grateful. However, he stated that since he was currently cultivating cotton (or some other crop) this year, he would comply from next year onward. To this, it was argued that if it were marginal/boundary land (tsumachi), then water should not be allowed to pass through it — this being the logical counter-argument presented.
Item: Yesterday in Hiragino, a deer was killed. It was determined that a penalty fee (yasen) of approximately two kan should be paid. (Also noted: the matter concerning the succession of Suki Yojirō.)
12th Day: The morning ritual was performed as usual. Eight musicians (gakunin) were in attendance, and on this day, for the first time, bells and drums (shōko) were sounded.
13th Day: There was a meeting. An express letter (hikyaku-fudasatsu) arrived from Edo. On the twenty-eighth of last month, an audience was granted at the castle, and formal greetings were presented. Today, two men from Kibune Valley requested to present their formal respects before the Commissioner of Temples and Shrines (jisha bugyō), Lord Itakura Iwami-no-kami. When questioned, they explained in detail the long-standing dispute and particularly the content of the official ruling (gosaiky ū) of the fourth year of Kanbun (1664), along with subsequent developments. As a result, the men from Kibune Valley were told that the presentation of formal greetings would not be permitted and were expelled. It was reported that they had brought their vermillion-seal documents (goshuinjō) with them. Since their leave of departure had not been granted, they remained lodging in Edo.
