現代語訳
その際、氏人の中から（京都に）下向していた岡本宮内を（七家の中に）加えることが決定され、初めて七家が定め置かれることになりました。その時に下向していた惣代の者たちは、岡本宮内が加えられたことにより、惣氏人も神主までの昇進の道筋が立つものと存じ、（その裁定を）謹んでお受け申し上げました。そこで御裁許状が下され、惣代の者たちが（京都に）上り、（裁許状を）読み聞かせたところ、一同が謹んで承知いたしました。その時に社家中へ下された御裁判状の中の一か条に、
本社神主・正祢宜・正祝・権祢宜・権祝、
ならびに片岡・貴布祢両社の祢宜・祝も、
相伝の社司として、松下・森・鳥居・大路・林・梅辻・冨野、
ならびに今度岡本宮内を加えた七家をもって勤めるべきこと。
新宮・大田・若宮・奈良澤田氏神六社の祢宜・祝については、
氏人十六流の内、社家中が相談の上、相応の人物を
先規のとおり伝奏を通じて言上し、任命すること。
英語訳
At that time, Okamoto Kunai, who had come down (to the shrine) from among the ujibito, was added to the designated families, and for the first time seven families were officially established. The representatives who had come down at that time believed that, since Okamoto Kunai had been added, a path for all ujibito to rise to the rank of kannushi (head priest) had been secured, and they humbly accepted the ruling. Thereupon, an official letter of authorization (gosaikyojō) was issued, and the representatives traveled up (to Kyoto), where it was read aloud to them, and all parties humbly acknowledged its contents. Among the articles of the official judgment (gosaibanjo) issued to the shrine community at that time, one article stated:
The positions of kannushi (head priest), shō-negi (senior associate priest), shō-hafuri (senior celebrant priest), gon-negi (junior associate priest), and gon-hafuri (junior celebrant priest) of the main shrine,
as well as the negi and hafuri of the two shrines of Kataoka and Kibune,
being hereditary shrine official positions, shall be served by the seven families of Matsushita, Mori, Torii, Ōji, Hayashi, Umetsuji, and Tomino,
with Okamoto Kunai now added to their number.
As for the negi and hafuri of the six shrine deities of Shingū, Ōta, Wakamiya, Narasawa, and Ujigami,
they shall be selected from among the sixteen lineages of the ujibito, through consultation among the shrine community, and suitable persons shall be reported through the intermediary (denso) in accordance with precedent, and appointed accordingly.
