現代語訳
二十一日 癸亥 曇り
一、今朝、夜明け前から北野聖廟へ参詣した。邦氏と同道し、辰の刻（午前八時）頃に帰郷した。
一、九条右府公の今日が御誕生日につき、例年の通り御祈祷の巻数を持参した。惣代は博久・保覚である。例年は御対面を仰せつけられるところ、今年は長らくご不例（ご病気）のため御対面なく、お酒のみを賜った。
一、今日、職中の禄銭の括り（まとめ・支給）が廻された。金伏（きんぷく）三升、また弦（つる）にて二斗四合、その外に八朔銭十文が括られた。職中三人共にである。
一、先達ての木山奉行の件につき、今日も徳季亭にて勘定があった由である。
一、出頭した惣代の博久・保覚が九条様への参上の序でに、葉室大納言様がこの度御年五十九歳にて従一位に御進みになったとのことで、たいへん結構なご出世であるとのことから、葉室中納言殿へお祝いに参上した。御留守であったため、申し置いて帰郷した。未の刻（午後二時）過ぎのことである。なお、右の伝奏・葉室殿へお祝いに参上する件については、今日、神主・正久に相談を申し入れ、正久も尤もと思われたので、右のとおりとした。
一、今日も評議所にて薪割りあり。人夫は昨日の通りである。
二十二日 甲子 晴れ
（割書：四条河原の涼みは今日まで。例年は十八日切りのところ、今年は水かさが高かったため七日から始めるところを十日から始めたので、それだけの日延べを願い出た由である。）
一、今日、月次（つきなみ）の寄会あり。出席者：神主正久・保韶・庸清・兼令・富清・邦氏・季脩・茂季・保統・茂宗・季首・徳季・季甫・産幸・富俊・史顕・保覚・保土・直安、会所学顕が披露（報告）した。
一、去る十八日、九条様より例年の通り御誕生日御祈祷料として米五斗の御献進があった。もっとも諸大夫・石井河内守より書状を添えて来たものである。例年通り御受けを遣わした。
一、去る十九日、川奉行・左京権亮より申し入れがあり、来る二十四日に神供の魚猟を致したい、御差し支えもなきやとの旨の問い合わせがあった。弥（いよいよ）二十四日に催されるよう返答した。
一、二十日、馬医源七が参上して申し上げるには、神馬を御見舞い申したところ、別条（異状）はないとのことであった。ただし、この節に服薬させれば寒中のためにも宜しいとのことである。もっとも煎湯にて一剤五匁位とのことで、一剤を三日ほどに用いる由である。評議にて、左様のことであれば服薬するのが然るべきであるとした。その上、暑気の節は御厩も蒸されるので、一ヶ月に六才（回）ほど夕方に引き出して、馬場辺りで引き廻して涼をとらせ、爪なども気をつけるよう御厩の別当へ申し入れるべき旨である。
一、二十一日、九条様御誕生日につき、本宮八社へ神酒五升を献進した。もっとも当番の衆中が御供をした。
一、同日、九条様へ巻数献上のため、惣代博久・保覚が出頭した。諸大夫・信濃小路・丹波守が出られ、例の通りお酒を賜った。当年は少々ご不例につき御対顔（お目見え）はなかった。
一、右の序でに伝奏・葉室中納言殿（前大納言殿）が従一位の宣下を受けられたことにつき、お祝いを申し上げた。もっとも暑気のご機嫌をも伺い申し上げた。
一、柏屋茂兵衛の手代・喜兵衛が参上し、銀子御返済の日限を承りに参った由である。学顕が対談し、こちらより追って申し入れる旨を告げて帰した。
一、美作守・清子が造作（工事・修繕）の願いを書付にて申し入れた。その留書（控え）は以下の通り。
奉願口状覚（願い申し上げる口上書き覚え）
この度、岡本町にある金蔵院持ちの屋敷地、十四坪の請地（借地）に、私の居宅として間口二間半・奥行一間半、並びに間中（合間）の入口を付け、屋根は両■（妻側？）藁葺きにて、全体を堀込縄結び建てに
英語訳
21st Day — Kinotoi (癸亥) — Cloudy
Item: From before dawn this morning, I went to pray at the Kitano Sacred Shrine (Kitano Seibyo). I was accompanied by Kunishi, and returned home around the Hour of the Dragon (approximately 8 a.m.).
Item: As today is the birthday of His Excellency the Lord of Kujō (Kujō Ufu-kō), prayer scrolls (kanjū) were brought as offerings in accordance with the usual annual custom. The representatives were Hirohisa and Hoaku. Although in previous years an audience (taimen) has customarily been granted, this year, due to a prolonged illness, no audience was held, and only sake was bestowed.
Item: Today, the distribution of stipend coins (roku-sen) for the shrine officers was circulated. Three shō of kinpuku (gilt offerings), plus 2 tō 4 gō via bowstring (tsuru), and in addition, 10 mon of Hassaku coins were distributed. This applied to all three of the shrine officers.
Item: Regarding the earlier matter involving the Timber Mountain Magistrate (Kiyama Bugyō), there was another accounting session today, held at the residence of Tokusue.
Item: The representatives who had appeared — Hirohisa and Hoaku — on their way back from visiting Lord Kujō, took the opportunity to call upon Lord Hamuro Chūnagon to offer congratulations, since it had been heard that Lord Hamuro Dainagon had been promoted to Junior First Rank (Jūichii) at the age of 59, which was considered a remarkable distinction. As he was away from home, they left word and returned, arriving back past the Hour of the Ram (approximately 2 p.m.). Incidentally, the matter of calling upon the imperial court liaison (tensō), Lord Hamuro, to offer congratulations had been discussed with Head Priest Masahisa today, and since Masahisa also found it appropriate, the visit proceeded as described.
Item: Today also, firewood distribution at the council hall. Laborers same as yesterday.
22nd Day — Kinoe-ne (甲子) — Clear
(Marginal note: The riverside cooling at Shijō Kawara ends today. In a normal year it concludes on the 18th, but this year the water was high, so although it should have started on the 7th, it began on the 10th — hence a request was made to extend the period by that many days accordingly.)
Item: Today's monthly gathering (tsukiami yoriai) was held. Those in attendance: Head Priest Masahisa, Hoshō, Yasukiyo, Kanenori, Tomikiyo, Kunishi, Suenaga, Shigeki, Yasunori, Shigenori, Suekimi, Tokusue, Sueyoshi, Ubuyuki, Tomitoshi, Fumiak, Hoaku, Hodo, Naoyasu; Gakuken of the assembly hall made the formal announcements.
Item: On the 18th, Lord Kujō sent, as is customary, five to (approximately 90 liters) of rice as birthday prayer offerings (go-kito-ryō). This came with an accompanying letter from the court noble's official (shōdaibū), Ishii Kawachi no Kami. A receipt was sent in the usual manner.
Item: On the 19th, River Magistrate Sakyō-no-gonnosuke sent an inquiry as to whether there would be any inconvenience if the fish-catching for sacred offerings (shinku no gyoryō) were to take place on the coming 24th. A reply was sent indicating that the 24th would indeed be suitable.
Item: On the 20th, Genbashichi, the horse physician, came to report that upon examining the sacred horse (shинме), he found no abnormalities. However, he advised that if the horse were given medicinal treatment at this time, it would also be beneficial for the coming cold season. The dosage would be one preparation of approximately 5 monme, administered as a decoction, to be given over approximately three days. After deliberation, it was decided that administering the medicine was indeed appropriate. Furthermore, since the stable becomes hot and stuffy during the hot season, it was to be conveyed to the stable keeper (bettō) that the horse should be led out around evening approximately six times a month in the vicinity of the training ground to cool down, and that attention should also be paid to the condition of its hooves.
Item: On the 21st, in celebration of Lord Kujō's birthday, five shō of sacred sake (o-miki) were offered to the eight shrines of the Main Shrine (Hongu). The members currently on duty served as attendants.
Item: On the same day, representatives Hirohisa and Hoaku appeared to present the prayer scrolls (kanjū) to Lord Kujō. The shōdaibū of Shinano-koji and Tamba-no-kami came out to receive them, and sake was bestowed as usual. This year, owing to a slight illness, there was no audience.
Item: On the occasion of the above visit, congratulations were also extended to the imperial court liaison (tensō), Lord Hamuro Chūnagon (formerly Dainagon), upon receiving the investiture of Junior First Rank (Jūichii no senge). The heat of the season also provided the occasion for an inquiry into his health.
Item: Kibei, clerk of Kahokuya Mohei, came to call and inquired as to the date on which the silver debt would be repaid. Gakuken spoke with him and sent him away, saying that word would be sent in due course.
Item: Mimasaka-no-kami Kiyoko submitted a written petition regarding planned construction (zōsaku). The retained copy reads as follows:
Petition (Statement of Request)
On this occasion, in the plot of 14 tsubo (borrowed land belonging to Kinzōin) located in Okamoto-chō, I wish to build my personal residence, measuring 2.5 ken in width by 1.5 ken in depth, with an entryway attached at the middle section. The roof is to be thatched with straw on both [sides/gables], and the entire structure is to be of the dug-in, rope-tied (horikomenawamusubi) construction method...
