現代語訳
神人《この時、千町万町の御籤木・算木共に渡し申すと申し、その時神人が請け取り申すと答える》そこで催行の神人が全て請け取ることを披露し終わり、郷の順序に従って一本ずつ渡す。次に目代々へ五本渡す。算木・算盤等は算取へ渡す。《ただし近代は算盤は用いないので、後日目代亭に渡す》
この時、各々小刀を用いて籤木の頭を駒形に削り改める。次に催行の神人が硯・水・糊等を持参するので、各々硯に水を入れて墨を摺り、籤木に書き付けを加える。その様式は以下の通り。
表 裏
何郷《御結鎮銭納帳》 何郷《年号正月八日》
《ただし郷方は表のみに郷の名を書き、裏方は年号・日付。目代々は裏表に郷の名を書く》
このように書き記し終わったら、籤木に糊を貼り付け、引附の端の方に張り付ける。もっとも目代々は五郷共に各々このようにする。次に御飯料募集の儀式を始める。先ず郷方の内より引き注文を催行の神人へ渡す。《これは兼ねて矢刀祢の依頼により郷方の内より書き出したもの》
神人がこれを請け取って披露し終わり、郷の順序に従って持参した内で、各々その郷の「反」の字の上に掛点を付け終わったところで、書き出した郷方へ神人が持参して返す。終わったら次に五郷共に書き出して返し、その書式は以下の通り。

英語訳
The shrine attendant (at this time, saying that the sacred divination sticks and counting rods for the thousand-chō and ten-thousand-chō [land areas] are being handed over, and the shrine attendant responds that they will receive them) - accordingly, the officiating shrine attendant receives all of them, announces this completion, and distributes them one by one according to village order. Next, five are given to the deputy chiefs. The counting rods, abacus, etc., are given to the calculator. (However, in recent times the abacus is not used, so it is delivered to the deputy chief residence at a later date.)
At this time, each person uses a small knife to carve and reshape the head of the divination stick into a horse-head shape. Next, the officiating shrine attendant brings inkstone, water, paste, etc., so each person puts water in the inkstone, grinds ink, and adds writing to the divination stick. The format is as follows:
Front Side Back Side
[Village Name] (Sacred Protection Money Ledger) [Village Name] (Era Name, First Month, Eighth Day)
(However, village representatives write only the village name on the front side, with era name and date on the back. Deputy chiefs write the village name on both front and back.)
After completing the writing in this manner, paste is applied to the divination stick and it is attached to the end portion of the record book. Deputy chiefs do this for all five villages respectively. Next, the ceremony for collecting meal expenses begins. First, a requisition order is handed from within the village representatives to the officiating shrine attendant. (This was previously written out from within the village representatives at the request of the Yatone priest.)
The shrine attendant receives this, announces its completion, and among those brought according to village order, each places a check mark above the character "tan" (paddy field) of their respective village. When finished, the shrine attendant brings it back to the village representatives who wrote it out. After completion, all five villages then write out and return [documents], with the format as follows:
Payment: Regarding Sacred Protection Money for [Village Name]
Total: Eighty mon Paddy field portion
The above [names] for Ōrai-da meal expenses, Yatone priest collection
Accordingly paid to the administrative office as described herein
