右より申上候ことく社司氏人俗姓少も不替候
祢宜職拘申候時は同前ニ可有御座候事
一 社司氏人しなし名の事
社司も氏人も丸とも大夫とも名つけ申候又氏人官位に
不拘之由虚言ニ而御座候五位より四品まて申上候事
一 氏人祢宜ニ成間敷之由申事
任古今之例祢宜職申上候事
右社司より申上候条々此度祢宜職之申分ニは
不拘義御座候所詮再三如申上候彼面々拘申
祢宜職致競望儀ニ而は無御座候闕之祢宜職あ
また御座候ニ付申上候然処ニ社司何かと支申永祢宜
職欲令断絶之企無有之至ニ御座候此等之趣被聞
召分祢宜職相続仕候様ニ被仰付候は忝可奉存候
仍如件
寛永四年十二月
氏人成良○(成ー)成置父子三代不改姓戸被補于鍼博士氏
人之中ニ昇殿
一 右段々社司氏人訴陳及度々之故諸家へ勅問也
現代語訳
右に申し上げた通り、社司・氏人の俗姓は少しも変わりなく、祢宜職に携わっている時は(昇殿において)同様であるべきでございます。
一、社司・氏人のしなし名(品名)のことについて
社司も氏人も「丸」とも「大夫」とも名付け申します。また、氏人が官位に関係がないと申すのは虚言でございます。五位から四品まで(のことを)申し上げます。
一、氏人が祢宜になるべきではないと申していることについて
古今の例に従い、祢宜職を申し上げた次第でございます。
右、社司より申し上げた条々は、今回の祢宜職の申し分には関係のないことでございます。詮ずるところ、再三申し上げている通り、彼の面々が携わっている祢宜職を競い望む(争って求める)ことでは全くございません。欠員となっている祢宜職が数多くございますので申し上げた次第です。しかるに社司が何かと差し支えを申し、永く祢宜職を断絶させようとする企てが存在するに至っております。これらの趣を聞き分けていただき、祢宜職が相続できますよう仰せ付けいただければ、誠にありがたく存じます。
よって件の如し。
寛永四年十二月
氏人・成良・○(成ー)・成置の父子三代、姓戸を改めず、鍼博士氏人の中に補せられ、昇殿(を許される)。
一、右の段々、社司・氏人の訴えと陳情が度々に及んだ故、諸家へ勅問(ちょくもん)があった。
英語訳
As stated above, there is no difference whatsoever in the common (*zokushō*) surnames of the *shashi* and *ujibito*, and when holding the position of *negi*, both should be treated in the same manner [regarding the right to ascend to the palace].
Item: Concerning the matter of *shinashi-na* (status names) for *shashi* and *ujibito*.
Both *shashi* and *ujibito* use names such as "*Maru*" and "*Tayū*." Furthermore, the claim that *ujibito* are unrelated to court ranks is a falsehood. We submit our statement regarding those from the Fifth Rank up to the Fourth Grade (*Shihon*).
Item: Concerning the assertion that *ujibito* should not become *negi*.
We have submitted our request for the *negi* position in accordance with both ancient and modern precedents.
[Summary statement:]
The various points raised above by the *shashi* are not in fact relevant to our present petition regarding the *negi* position. In short, as we have stated repeatedly, this is by no means a matter of those individuals competitively seeking the *negi* positions already held by others. Rather, we submit this petition because there are numerous *negi* positions that are currently vacant. Nevertheless, the *shashi* raise various objections, and matters have reached the point where there appears to be a scheme to cause the *negi* positions to become permanently extinct. We humbly request that these circumstances be duly heard and understood, and that an order be issued allowing the *negi* positions to be continued and succeeded to. We would be most grateful for such a disposition.
Thus, as stated above.
12th month, Kan'ei 4 (1627)
[Separate record:] The *ujibito* Nariyoshi, ○ (Nari–), and Narioki — a father and his two sons across three generations — without changing their surname registration (*sei-ko*), were appointed among the *ujibito* of the Acupuncture Physician (*harisoshi*) and granted the right of ascent to the palace (*shōden*).
Item: Because the petitions and counter-statements of the *shashi* and *ujibito* as described above had been submitted repeatedly, an imperial inquiry (*chokumon*) was directed to the various noble houses.
