現代語訳
五官（ごかん）の欠員の際にその職務を勤める旨を申し上げた。これにより三方に分かれて争いとなり、水野和泉守様・伊賀守様の御両殿が所司代として四か年の間、公武双方による御吟味が行われた。その結果、中和（折衷・妥協）の御沙汰として、同四年亥年に武家伝奏・中院大納言殿の御許において、当社伝奏・万里小路中納言殿が御奉行を務め、坊城弁殿が御列座され、一社の惣代ならびに新宮以下の社司・氏人の惣代等が召し出され、勅裁の趣旨が御両通の御書付をもって仰せ渡された。
その御書付の内容：
一、五官（ごかん）に欠員が生じた時は、七家の社司の中から片岡（かたおか）の社職を勤めるべきこと。片岡以下の社職に欠員が生じた節は、社中において代官役と称して来た五人の内から勤めるべきこと。
一、五官の欠職の時、片岡・貴布祢（きふね）の祝（はふり）・禰宜（ねぎ）等が自然に故障（支障）・所労（病気）がある場合は、右の代

The contents of the written documents:
Item: When a vacancy arises among the Five Officials (go-kan), the position shall be filled by one of the seven families of shrine officials serving in the Kataoka shrine post. When a vacancy arises in the Kataoka post or below, the position shall be filled from among the five persons who have been called daikan-yaku (deputy officials) within the shrine.
Item: When a vacancy occurs among the Five Officials, should the Kataoka, Kifune, hafuri (祝, junior priests), negi (禰宜, priests), or others naturally have an impediment (故障) or illness (所労), the aforementioned deputy [officials shall serve...]
