現代語訳
（前文より続き）■□へも御聞き届けの由仰せられました。冷泉様・松梅院よりは、他が済みましたならば知らせると仰せられたとのことです。宝鏡寺宮御領は小堀数馬殿の御支配にて、十か年以前より見取りのことであります。
一、右の小山の義につき御文庫を開けて、元禄六年・享保十二年の小山納帳、その他貞享四年・五年・元禄六年等の御日記もご吟味がありました。しかしながら委細のことは分かりかねますので、小堀数馬元〆へ内々にお尋ねになってご覧になるのが宜しいかと存じます。そこで周防介起顕が縁家がございますので、この段についてお頼みになり、近々社中より参りますので、お会いいただけますようにとお申し入れを、何日何時に参るようにと暇日をお聞き合わせ願えますようにと、さっそく会所の起顕の亭にお越しになりましたところ、早速領掌されて明日にでも参られるとのことです。まず小堀へ内々に尋ねた上で御相談になるのが宜しいかと存じます。見取りと仰せ付けになりましては、小山郷だけに限らず大野・中村も段々と願い申すでしょうし、後々は本郷百姓も段々と願うようになれば、まったく致し方もないことになります。何卒内々に承り合わせた上で、御奉行所へでも御願いになってご覧になるのが宜しいでしょう、ということで一決しました。
一、夜に入り、五十嵐源五より触状が到来しました。先日触れられた西陣むめ世の忰・亀吉と申す者、十一才にて先頃行方が知れなくなっておりましたところ、この節出てきた由、よって触れ知らせとのことです。惣代博久保土加印、霊源寺へ廻しました。
一、今晩、七町の田虫送りであります。
一、今日、保土亭にて米打ちです。博久の下女・光（■）の下女来る。
一、六郎兵衛の世忰が評議所の竹輿を借りてくれるよう頼んできましたので、学顕へ申して竹輿を貸し遣わしました。使いは門三郎。
十三日 卯（六時頃）晴れ。朝飯後より曇り、折々小雨。夜に入り大雨。
一、社中御静謐であります。今日、棟別配分の麦二斗七升四合、三平が持参しました。すなわち代銭三十五文を会所へ□渡しました。今日、五十嵐より触状が到来しました。内野平兵衛の養女、八才にて失くなった由であります。
一、大津屋へ帷子の染に遣わしました。花色小紋両面・橘菱五つ所紋の小紋形、綾杉小形。この間申し遣わした小手拭いの見本を見せに越してきました。一匁一分と一匁の二種です。九分にするようにと申し遣わしました。もっとも小色の模様に紅が少々入ったものを明後日持参するようにと申し遣わしました。
十四日 辰（八時頃）。夜中に大雨。朝より雨止み曇天。今日は祇園会です。
一、社中御静謐。今日、修理方世顕が木船へ登山しました。もっとも竹輿にて。
一、未の刻（午後二時）頃より大夕立ち。夜に入るまで雨降りです。
一、信濃介産幸より手紙が添えられ、南の徳右衛門が参りました。この間の兼為との出入り（争論）について、銀五十目にて得心するようにと産幸が徳右衛門に申し含め、徳右衛門が得心しましたので、兼為方へ保土が口上を申し含めて遣わしてくれるよう頼みに来ましたので、徳右衛門を召し連れて季脩のところまで参りましたところ、兼為はただ今留守でありますので、明日にでも銀子は産幸まで持参していただき、徳右衛門へお渡しくださいますようお頼み申すとのことです。その上で徳右衛門が兼為のところへ一礼に参り、もっとも社中へ済状を差し上げるべき旨を申し渡して帰しました。産幸への返書は差し遣わしませんでした。この旨、徳右衛門に口上にて返答申し遣わしました。
一、安芸守が入来しました。もっとも見舞いだけです。邦氏も入来しました。
一、鳥居大路家の下女が懐妊したため、南の八兵衛の世忰との出入りを相願いましたところ、職中の心得にて下にて取り計らいをするようにとお申し付けになりましたところ、右の女を八兵衛の世忰方へ女房に貰うこととなり、双方得心して出入りが済んだとのことです。
英語訳
(Continued from previous text) It was stated that the matter had been heard and acknowledged at ■□ as well. From the Reizei household and Shōbaiin, it was said that they would notify us once others had settled their matters. The domain of Hōkyōji-no-miya is under the administration of Kobori Kazuma, and has been subject to direct land assessment (mitake) for the past ten years.
Item: Regarding the aforementioned matter of Oyama, the document repository was opened and the Oyama納帳 (tribute records) from Genroku 6 [1693] and Kyōhō 12 [1727], as well as diary records from Jōkyō 4 [1687], Jōkyō 5 [1688], and Genroku 6 [1693], were examined. However, since the full details could not be ascertained, it was deemed appropriate to make quiet, informal inquiries to Kobori Kazuma, the chief administrator (moto-jime). Accordingly, since Suōnosuke Okiaki has connections with the relevant family, he was asked to facilitate this, with a request that he meet with the representative who would be coming from the shrine community soon. He immediately went to Okiaki's residence at the meeting hall to inquire on what day and at what time he should come, whereupon Okiaki promptly agreed and said he could come as early as the next day. It was concluded that it would be best to consult after quietly inquiring with Kobori first. If direct land assessment were to be ordered, it would not be limited to just Oyama village—Ono and Nakamura would also make requests one by one, and if the villagers of the main district also came to make such requests in increasing numbers, there would be nothing that could be done. It was therefore decided that after making quiet inquiries, a petition should be considered to the magistrate's office (bugyō-sho).
Item: In the evening, a notification (fure-jō) arrived from Igarashi Gengo. It concerned a person previously circulated about—a boy named Kamekichi, aged 11, son of Nishijin Mumeyo, who had gone missing some time ago but had now apparently turned up. This was circulated as a notice of his reappearance. With the seal of the representative Hiroku-Bodo added, it was forwarded to Reigenji temple.
Item: This evening, the tanomusushi-okuri (rice paddy insect-driving ceremony) was held in seven towns.
Item: Today, rice pounding was held at the Bodo residence. The maidservant of Hiroku and the maidservant of Mitsu (■) came.
Item: Since Rokurobei's son requested to borrow the bamboo palanquin (take-koshi) of the deliberation hall, Gakuaki was informed and the palanquin was lent out. The messenger was Mosaburō.
13th Day: Hour of the Rabbit [around 6 a.m.], clear. Cloudy from after breakfast, with occasional light rain. Heavy rain in the evening.
Item: The shrine community was peaceful. Today, Sanpei brought two tō, seven shō, and four gō of barley as the per-building (munawari) distribution. Accordingly, 35 mon in cash equivalent was □transferred to the meeting hall. Today, a notification arrived from Igarashi: Uchino Heibei's adopted daughter, aged eight, has gone missing.
Item: Cloth (katabira) was sent to Ōtsuya for dyeing. The items were: hanairo (light blue) fine-pattern cloth, double-sided; a small pattern cloth with a mandarin orange and diamond crest at five locations; and a small ayasugi (woven cedar pattern) design. The sample of the small hand towel requested the other day was brought for viewing—one item at 1 momme 1 bu and another at 1 momme. Instructions were sent to price them at 9 bu. Additionally, a small-colored pattern with a little crimson included was requested to be brought the day after tomorrow.
14th Day: Hour of the Dragon [around 8 a.m.]. Heavy rain during the night. Rain stopped from morning, overcast. Today is the Gion Festival.
Item: The shrine community was peaceful. Today, the Superintendent of Repairs, Yoaki, ascended to Kifune [Kibune] mountain. He traveled by bamboo palanquin.
Item: From around the Hour of the Sheep [around 2 p.m.], a heavy evening shower. Rain continued until evening.
Item: Tokunouemon from the south arrived carrying a letter from Shinano-no-suke Sanko. Sanko had persuaded Tokunouemon to agree to settle the ongoing dispute with Kaneme for 50 momme in silver, and Tokunouemon had agreed. Sanko requested that Bodo be sent to convey this verbally to Kaneme's household. Accordingly, Tokunouemon was brought along to Kishu's residence, but as Kaneme was currently away, it was requested that the silver be brought to Sanko's residence the following day, and from there handed to Tokunouemon. After this, Tokunouemon would pay a courtesy visit to Kaneme's household, and it was conveyed that a settlement notice (sumijō) would be submitted to the shrine community. He was then sent home. No reply letter was sent to Sanko; instead, this response was conveyed verbally through Tokunouemon.
Item: Aki-no-kami paid a visit—merely a courtesy call. Kunishi also visited.
Item: Regarding the pregnancy of a maidservant at the Toriimichi household: a dispute was brought forth concerning Hachibei's son from the south, and it was ordered that the matter be handled discreetly by the relevant officials at a lower level. The outcome was that the maidservant was taken as wife by Hachibei's son, with both parties reaching an agreement, and the dispute was thus resolved.
