現代語訳
その際には評議所まで出頭するようにという趣旨を申し渡したところ、承知いたしましたとのことであった。
**九日、午（正午頃）、曇り、昼後に晴れ。今朝、埒（らち）の仕舞いが完了。供僧中、早朝に今宮参りをした。**
一、今日は井手揚げ（用水路の開口・整備）のため、朝食後に出頭。月番の業久・富俊、六役の保覚・保土・学顕・躬清・史顕、水掛り（水利担当）の季脩、供の喜八、歩き一人、茶・弁当・薄縁（うすべり）四枚を各自持参させた。水役人八人、本郷掛の百姓も全員出た。
一、本郷の井手口にて川幅六間。深さは三丈九尺。六歩半に割り、二丈五尺三寸五分を間に直し三間九歩。九歩の所を尺に直すと五尺八寸五歩。この場所に頭杭を打つ。本郷井手口の幅は三間五尺八寸五歩であるが、三間半として、川筋へ二尺余り足してやり、川筋の幅は二間ほど。もっとも川筋が高いため、水も乗りかねるので、川筋を浚えて下への流れを整えた。本郷の井手も上へ開けるので、井手の縁が三十間ほどもあるため、水役人たちが蛇籠（じゃかご）を一つ持参したが、残りはしがらみにしても手間がかかるため、神宮寺の池にある社中の籠三つを使わせた。
今日、朝食後に奉行中が早々に出頭したところ、水役人および百姓共が参上しなかったため、評議所にてかなり待ち合わせた後、川表へ参ったが、昼過ぎ頃からようやく百姓共が集まった。
そのため、不届きである旨を水役人共に申し付けた。
一、今日、大宮郷の堀小川も井手揚げで、大徳寺庄屋の仲右衛門などが来ており、惣百姓共が川を浚えていた。もっとも、夕方に井手を仕掛ける様子であった。
一、今日、本郷の井手は右の通りに仕掛けたが、池田町の井（■）・穴井などことごとく井手を揚げており、雨も降らなければ、川筋もかなりの渇水になりそうである。その際にはまた様子を見計らって、右の割合に直すべきである。
一、夕方、川表が済んで月番・六役が帰路についたとき、三若丸大夫が川原の表上で（魚の）上げ川（かわ）をしていたため、逃げるようであればそのままにしようと思ったが、そのような様子もなかったので、やむを得ず声を掛けた。その際、上の方へ上がられ、またすぐに川に入られた。このように月番・六役が表向きに出会って声を掛けた以上、そのままにもしておけず、十二日に披露（報告）すべきことである。
一、夕方、大野郷の役人が会所まで願い出てきた。大野の井手揚げを明日行うが、井手がことのほか高くて揚げるのが難しく難儀している。何卒、杭木五十本・俵百を拝領したいとの願いである。そのため、月番・六役も見分の帰りがけに評議所に居合わせたので、神主にこの件について兼太が申し参ったところ、正久も少しはお遣わしになるのが然るべきとお思いになった。
英語訳
Those concerned were instructed to present themselves at the deliberation hall (hyōgijo) when the time came, and they all replied that they understood and would comply.
**The 9th Day. Around noon, cloudy; clearing in the afternoon. This morning, the rachi (enclosure/boundary) work was completed. The attending monks (gusō) made an early morning visit to Imamiya Shrine.**
- Today, on account of the ide-age (opening/maintenance of irrigation channels), all parties assembled after breakfast. The monthly duty officers Naganori and Tomotoshi, the six officers Hochikaku, Hodo, Gakukan, Kyūsei, and Shiken, the water affairs officer Suenaga, the attendant Kihachi, and one foot-messenger were dispatched, each bringing their own tea, box lunches, and four thin floor mats (usuberis). Eight water officials (mizuyakunin) and all the peasants of the Hongō district also turned out.
- At the Hongō irrigation channel mouth, the river width was six ken. The depth was three jō nine shaku. Dividing by six and a half steps, adjusting to two jō five shaku three sun five bu, it came to three ken nine steps. Converting the nine steps into shaku, it was five shaku eight sun five bu. A head stake (kashiragui) was driven at this point. Although the Hongō channel mouth was three ken five shaku eight sun five bu wide, it was set at three and a half ken, with over two shaku added toward the riverway, making the riverway width approximately two ken. Since the riverway was relatively high, water could not easily flow over it, so the riverway was dredged and the downstream flow was repaired. Since the Hongō irrigation channel also opened upward, the channel embankment extended some thirty ken; therefore, although the water officials brought one gabion (jakago) basket, it would take too much time to use brushwood weirs (shigarami) for the rest, so three baskets belonging to the shrine community from the Jingūji temple pond were used.
After breakfast today, the magistrates (bugyō) turned out early, but since the water officials and the peasants had not yet arrived, they waited for quite some time at the deliberation hall before proceeding to the riverside. The peasants only began to gather around midday.
For this reason, the water officials were reprimanded for their negligence.
- Today, the ditch (hori-ogawa) of the Ōmiya-gō district also underwent ide-age, and the headman of Daitokuji, Nakauemon and others were present, with the assembled peasants dredging the waterway. It appeared that they planned to set up the irrigation channel in the evening.
- Today, the Hongō irrigation channel was set up as described above; however, since all channels including the Ikeda-chō well (■) and穴井 (Anaui) had been raised, if rain did not fall, the riverway would likely suffer severe drought. In that event, the allocation ratios should be readjusted as appropriate.
- In the evening, as the monthly duty officers and the six officers were returning after finishing the riverside work, they found that the Sannwakamarudayū was conducting upstream fishing (age-kawa) on the riverbank. Thinking that if he fled, the matter could be left alone, but as he showed no sign of fleeing, they had no choice but to call out to him. At that point, he moved upstream and then immediately re-entered the river. Since the monthly duty officers and six officers had publicly confronted him on this matter, they could not simply leave it unaddressed, and thus a report should be made on the 12th.
- In the evening, an official from the Ōno-gō district came to the meeting hall (kaisho) with a petition. They intended to perform the ide-age in Ōno the following day, but the irrigation channel was exceedingly high, making it very difficult to raise, and they were in great distress. They requested, if possible, fifty stakes (kuigi) and one hundred straw bales (tawara) as a grant. Since the monthly duty officers and six officers happened to be at the deliberation hall on their return from the inspection, Keneta reported this matter to the head shrine priest (kannushi), and Masahisa expressed the view that it would be appropriate to provide at least a small amount.
