現代語訳
便所へ退く。次に目代々が五郷の引附を持参し、郷方の前に郷の次に任せて置き了わり、本座に復する（なお硯箱一合ずつを沙汰人より郷方の前に出し置く）。次に読合の儀式の事始めとして、まず老若出席の輩のうち五人が郷方の前に進み出て、目代々の引附一巻ずつをこれを取り披見し、五郷共に同時に読み上げる（ただし、いずれの郷においても一方より読む）。相違がない時は、左右の方ともことごとく引附に点を掛け了わり、老若の輩は本座に復する。この時、会所において算を入れるべき旨を披露する。次に算取が進み出て算を入れる（なお算木は用いず十露盤〔そろばん〕を用いる。ただし五郷共にことごとく算を入れるのではなく、毎年一郷ずつ巡番で算を入れる）。この時、老若中よりもまた一人が合算を行い了わり、執筆が進み出てことごとく目代々の引附に卜書を加える。この時、郷方においてもまた各々卜書を加え了わり、各々退散する。五郷の田数・分銭等は左の如し。

英語訳
The affairs officer withdraws to the waiting area. Next, the senior deputy administrators (目代々) bring the ledgers (引附) of the five villages (五郷) and place them before the village representatives (郷方) in order of village, then return to their seats. (Moreover, one inkstone box [硯箱] each is placed before the village representatives by the affairs officer [沙汰人].) Next, as the opening act of the ledger-reading ceremony (読合の儀), five persons from among those attending from the senior and junior members (老若) advance to stand before the village representatives, each taking one scroll of the senior deputy administrators' ledgers, examining them, and reading them aloud simultaneously for all five villages at once. (However, in each village's case, the reading proceeds from one side.) When no discrepancies are found, check marks (点) are placed throughout on the ledgers on both left and right sides, and the senior and junior members return to their seats. At this time, it is announced in the assembly hall that the calculation (算) is to be performed. Next, the accountant (算取) advances and performs the calculation. (Note: the counting rods [算木] are not used; an abacus [十露盤, i.e., soroban] is used instead. However, not all five villages have their calculations performed at once; each year, the calculations are performed for one village at a time in rotation [巡番].) At this time, one more person from among the senior and junior members also performs a verification calculation (合算), and when this is completed, the scribe (執筆) advances and adds verification notes (卜書) to all of the senior deputy administrators' ledgers. At this time, the village representatives (郷方) also each add their own verification notes, and upon completion, all disperse. The paddy field acreage (田数) and allocated cash (分銭) for the five villages are as follows:
Kawakamigō (河上郷)： Paddy fields: 21 chō, 4 tan, 60 bu Allocated cash: 17 kan, 134 mon
Ōmiyagō (大宮郷)： Paddy fields: 16 chō, 7 tan, half Allocated cash: 13 kan, 400 mon
Oyamagō (小山郷)： Paddy fields: 12 chō, 8 tan, small Allocated cash: 10 kan, 267 mon
Nakamuragō (中村郷)： Paddy fields: 33 chō, 9 tan, large Allocated cash: 27 kan, 174 mon
Okamotogō (岡本郷)： Paddy fields: 14 chō, 3 tan, large, 90 bu Allocated cash: 11 kan, 514 mon
