現代語訳
一、下鴨社・貴船社へ神主が参詣する際には、右の十四人の家子が供奉（お供）をする役目を担うこと。
一、氏人と申す者は、神事の際に社頭にて社官の裾を持ち、扇などを持たせる役目を担うこと。
一、松下神主が職の拝賀（就任のご挨拶）を行う際には、供奉を務め、社頭の御札を書き付けて保管させる役目は甚五郎と申す者の家役（家の代々の役目）であり、今回社職を望んでいる氏人がその者でございます。
一、森神主が職の拝賀を行う際には、御札を保管させる役目を担う大膳亮と申す氏人がございます。
一、御遷宮の折などにも、氏人と社官との作法はそれぞれ別個のものでございます。
以上、おおよそ社官と氏人の差別（区別）についての覚書を作成いたしました。さらに詳細な年中行事については、改めて詳しく書き付けてご覧に入れる所存でございます。社職を氏人が望むことは、前代未聞のことでございます。今回これが仰せ付けられますと、社法がことごとく破れ、神慮（神のご意向）が測り難いことと存じます。しかしながら、社官の家が絶えたわけではなく、少しも虚偽を申し上げているわけではございません。先例と相違していることを申し述べているのでございますが、もし疑わしいとお思いであれば、いかようにでもご糾明くださいますようお申し付けください。この旨をお心にお留めいただけますならば、ありがたく存じます。
寛永四年十一月十四日 賀茂社官中
英語訳
Item: When the shrine priest (kannagi) visits Shimogamo Shrine and Kifune Shrine, the aforementioned fourteen household retainers (ieko) are to serve as an escort.
Item: Those called ujibito (parishioner-attendants) are to hold the hem of the shrine official's robe and carry his fan and other items during sacred ceremonies at the shrine grounds.
Item: When the Matsushita kannagi performs the haiga ceremony (formal visit of congratulations upon assuming office), the role of escorting him and receiving and keeping the shrine's sacred tablets is a hereditary duty of a person called Jingoro, who is the very ujibito now seeking the shrine position.
Item: When the Mori kannagi performs the haiga ceremony, the role of receiving and keeping the sacred tablets belongs to an ujibito called Daizen-no-suke.
Item: Even on occasions such as the Sengu (shrine relocation/rebuilding ceremony), the ceremonial protocols for ujibito and shrine officials are entirely separate and distinct.
The above is a general memorandum regarding the distinctions between shrine officials and ujibito. Further details concerning the annual ritual calendar will be written up and presented at a later time. It is entirely unprecedented for an ujibito to seek a shrine official position. Should this be permitted on this occasion, the laws of the shrine would be utterly destroyed, and we fear that the will of the deities would become difficult to fathom. That said, the line of shrine official families has not died out, and we speak no falsehood whatsoever. We are simply stating that this would deviate from established precedent; if there is any doubt about this, please conduct whatever investigation you see fit. We would be most grateful if this matter could be given your most gracious consideration.
