現代語訳
（前文より続き）ついでながら御届け申し上げます。去る暮れに忠次郎大夫存直（■）より袋図子の屋敷一か所を寺家中へ譲り渡された件につき、延引いたしましたが御届け申し上げます。すなわち書付をもって届け出られました。
一、十一日、九番衆・十番衆より小山郷に関する返答口上書が差し出されました。両手とも手中連印であります。九番衆には無足人がおらず、往来の取り計らいのみです。十番衆には無足人として卯子之介・享顕のみです。文面は丁寧ではありますが、趣旨は六番衆と同意です。十手一統の意向を伺った上で、社中へお頼み申し上げたいとの願いです。
一、同日、御修理方長門守世顕より申し入れがありました。来る十四日より木船へ登山のため届け出られました。
一、同日、月番中の評議所の薪山通りの枯木を伐採したところ、安芸守氏置の垣内へ倒れ、垣根三間ほどを損傷しました。社中より修繕して差し遣わすべきかとの件。評議の結果、修理方へ付けて修繕して差し遣わすべし。席上にて杜顕が承知しました。
一、同日、御祈祷の後、神主月番中にて先日の絵馬を掛ける場所の御見分がありました。すなわち演説を行うべきです。哲顕が演説の場所を見分しましたところ、先日は廻廊の西方へも掛けるお考えでいらっしゃいましたが、寸法を見合わせたところ、廻廊にはとても掛けられません。よって小局の南方、長押の上へ掛けるべきでしょうか。しかしながら馴れ釘やねじ等を打ちますと大分疵が付くでしょうから、なるべく疵が付かないように掛けられるよう、正大工へお尋ねになってご覧ください。
一、同日、梅が辻町の行事が参上し申し上げました。先日仰せ付けられた落葉取りをした者どもの過料米について、随分取り立て申しましたが、漸く一人前に付き二升ずつ、十一人で二斗二升を持参いたしました。残りの米については秋まで延期していただけるよう願います。評議の結果、過料米のことですので、そのような宥免はできません。急々に取り立てて差し出すよう申し渡しました。米が全部揃いましたら山廻り中へ進めるべし。
一、川奉行中より申し入れがありました。先日掛けた流枝（水中の杭）を盗まれるかもしれないので引き上げようかとのことです。もっとも川中にはまだあります。今もその流枝がよく効いています。この節（■）も気の毒に存じます。右の場所はかなり砂を盛って状況が良くなっていたところ、昨夜か一昨夜あたり、先日掘った川筋を堰き止めるような様子で芝なども伏せてあります。このまま差し置いては水が出た場合にまた害になりますので、石・砂・芝ともに取り捨てるべきでしょうか。評議の結果、流枝については上にあるものは引き上げられ、まだ水中にあるものはそのまま差し置くべし。折角川を掘ったのに、そのように堰き止めては気の毒ですから、見繕いの上、土砂・芝等を取り除き、川筋を少々堰き掛けて瀬替わりするような工面が然るべし。季甫が承知しました。
一、杜顕より申し入れがありました。雷除御守一幅を申し出たいとのことです。御許容いただきました。
一、藤木鶴松大夫親顕の称号が堀内に改められた由、届け出られました。
一、田方中より申し入れがありました。先の会にて仰せ聞かせた往来田家領本郷掛かりの分について、下地高の概算書き抜き帳面を差し出しました。概ね七百九十五石余があります。先の有増（概算より多い分）で相違もあり得ます。
一、寄会中に小山庄屋清兵衛が為替方の用事にて参ったので、ついでに尋ねましたのは、郷中が願っている見掛けの義について、他の本所方へすでに願い置いていますか、またはまだ願っていなくて、神領の見掛けを申し付けた上で、外々へ願う所存ですか、と尋ねたところ、すでに残らず願い置いております。すなわち
英語訳
(Continued from previous text) While I have the opportunity, I wish to report the following: Regarding the matter of one plot of land at Fukuro-zushi that the late Chujiro Dayu Sokunao (■) transferred to the temple precincts last year-end, I hereby report this belatedly. A written notice has accordingly been submitted.
Item: On the 11th day, the 9th and 10th groups submitted written oral responses regarding the matter of Oyama village. Both groups submitted with collective signatures from their members. The 9th group has no unregistered persons (musoku-nin), and the matter concerns only the management of passage rights. The 10th group has only Ushinosuke and Kyōken as unregistered persons. While the wording is polite, the intent is in agreement with the 6th group. This is a petition requesting that, after consulting with all ten groups, the matter be entrusted to the shrine community.
Item: On the same day, the Superintendent of Repairs, Nagato-no-kami Yoaki, submitted notice that he would be ascending to Kifune [Kibune] from the 14th of the coming month.
Item: On the same day, when the dead wood along the firewood mountain path of the monthly deliberation hall was felled, it fell into the garden of Aki-no-kami Ujiki, damaging approximately three ken of fencing. The question arose as to whether the shrine community should bear the cost of repairs. The deliberation concluded that the repair should be arranged through the Repairs Office. Moroaki acknowledged this at the meeting.
Item: On the same day, following the prayers, the monthly-duty priests conducted an inspection of the location for hanging the votive tablet (ema) that had been discussed previously. Accordingly, an explanation was to be given. Tetsuaki inspected the location and reported that while there had previously been a plan to hang it on the west side of the covered corridor as well, upon measuring, it became clear that it could not be hung in the corridor. Therefore, it was suggested that it be hung above the nageshi (horizontal rail) on the south side of the small chamber. However, since driving in nails and screws would cause considerable damage, it was recommended to consult with the head carpenter to find a way of hanging it with minimal damage.
Item: On the same day, the administrator of Umegaji-machi town appeared and reported: Regarding the fine rice (karyō-mai) imposed on those who collected fallen leaves as previously ordered, efforts had been made to collect it, but only two shō per person had been brought in, totaling two tō and two shō from eleven persons. He requested an extension until autumn for the remaining rice. The deliberation concluded that since this was a matter of fine rice, such leniency could not be granted, and they were ordered to collect and submit it immediately. Once all the rice is gathered, it is to be forwarded to the mountain patrol officers.
Item: The river commissioners submitted the following matter: Since there was a risk of the floating branch markers (nagareda) that had been placed previously being stolen, they inquired whether they should be retrieved. Note that some remain in the river and are still functioning effectively. The commissioners felt sorry about the situation. While the area had improved considerably with added sand fill, it appeared that on the previous night or the night before that, the river channel that had been dug was being blocked, with sod also being laid. If left as is, this would cause damage again should flooding occur. They inquired whether the stones, sand, and sod should all be removed. The deliberation concluded: The floating branch markers above water should be retrieved, while those still submerged should be left in place. Since it is a pity that the river that was laboriously dug is being dammed up in such a way, after proper assessment, the soil, sand, and sod should be cleared away, and arrangements should be made to slightly redirect the flow of the river channel. Kiho acknowledged this.
Item: Moroaki submitted a request for one charm against lightning (kaminari-yoke o-mamori). This was granted.
Item: Notice was submitted that Fujiki Tsurumatsudayu Chikaaki had changed his title name to Horinai.
Item: The agricultural district office submitted the following: Regarding the matter of the road through the Tajika-ryō Honmachi district, as discussed at the previous meeting, an abstract ledger of the estimated base yield was submitted. The total is approximately 795 koku or more. This is a preliminary estimate and discrepancies may exist.
Item: During the council meeting, Kiyobei, the headman of Oyama village, came on business regarding monetary exchange, and the opportunity was taken to inquire: Regarding the matter of the mortgage (mikake) that the village community is petitioning about, have you already filed a petition with another headquarters (honjo-kata), or have you not yet petitioned, intending to do so after the sacred territory's mortgage matter is settled? Upon inquiry, he replied that petitions had already been submitted to all parties. That is—
