現代語訳
一、氏人中より上げる留め（控え）
覚
一、重説は先例をもって申し上げたところ、口宣を成し下された。古来より氏人が社司になることは、社法においての慣例でございます。
一、重説が口宣を頂戴し、すなわち神前において拝賀を仕り、神前の御札を改め、神主へ届け申したこと、その紛れ（疑い）は御座なく候。
一、重説の社役の儀については、口宣を頂戴いたしました折に八旬（八十歳）に及んでおり、その上、常々病身故、行歩不自由でございましたにより、正祝と一家の間柄であるため、神事の時は使いをもって頼み申し候。病気ならびに老体の儀については、賀茂（社）中にてその紛れ（疑い）は御座なく候。
一、権祝の儀を正祝より預け置かれた申すことは、第一の虚言でございます。その証文を召し出していただければよく存じます。口宣頂戴の義は先例に任せて成し下されましたところ、何かと申し立てることは、そもそも叡慮を恐れずに申すことでございます。
一、往来田の儀は、重説が身上（生計）立ち行かない故、氏人中より合力（援助）として遣わし置き候ものでございます。重説に限らず、身上の立たない社司に合力仕ったことは、前代より度々御座候事でございます。
一、氏人に昔の氏人・当時の氏人とて、少しも差別（区別）無く……
英語訳
Item: The memorandum (*tome*/retained copy) submitted by the *ujibito* party
Memorandum (*Oboegaki*)
Item: Jūsetsu submitted his petition based on established precedent (*senrei*), and accordingly a *kuzen* (imperial oral decree) was issued and granted. It has been the customary practice under shrine law (*shahō*) since ancient times for *ujibito* (clan members/parishioners) to become *shashi* (shrine officials).
Item: Upon receiving the *kuzen*, Jūsetsu duly performed the *haiga* (formal act of worship and acknowledgment) before the deity, renewed the sacred amulets (*ofuda*) at the shrine, and delivered notice to the *kannagi* (chief shrine priest). There is no doubt whatsoever regarding these matters.
Item: Concerning Jūsetsu's performance of shrine duties (*shayaku*): at the time he received the *kuzen*, he was already approaching eighty years of age (*hachijun*), and furthermore, as he was chronically ill and had difficulty walking, he sent a messenger to make requests through the *shō-hafuri*, with whom he shared a familial connection, at the time of religious ceremonies (*shinji*). As regards his illness and advanced age, there is no doubt about these facts within the Kamo Shrine community.
Item: The claim that the position of *gon-hafuri* was "entrusted" (*azuke-oki*) by the *shō-hafuri* is an outright falsehood—the foremost of fabrications. We respectfully request that the relevant documents (*shōmon*) be produced and examined. The *kuzen* was granted in accordance with established precedent, and yet to raise various objections to this is, in sum, to speak without fear of the imperial will (*eiryō*).
Item: Regarding the *ōrai-den* (transit lands): because Jūsetsu's personal finances (*shinjō*) were insufficient, the *ujibito* community provided these as a form of mutual assistance (*gōryoku*). It is not a matter limited to Jūsetsu alone—providing such assistance to *shashi* who are in financial difficulty has been a practice that has occurred repeatedly since former generations.
Item: As for the *ujibito*, whether those of old or those of the present day, there is not the slightest distinction [to be made between them]…
