現代語訳
（雑掌は）出頭したが、立ち会いには及ばないとして帰って行った。もっとも、今日の件については、職中（神職の者たち）にも事前の案内がなく、保覚・邦氏の両人の相談によって催されたとのことである。昨年冬の勅許以来の官位の書き継ぎである。
一、季脩との対談（についてであるが）、この間、会所まで提出しておいた保土の退役の件については、もっともなことと思われるが、この時節にそのような事を行うのは宜しくないので、まずこの度は了簡（思い直し）して、退役の披露（公表）をしないようにしてほしい旨を、強く申し聞かされたので、そのようにしておくこととした。
一、初夜（午後八時頃）の半ば頃より、京都にて出火があった。場所は舟橋の四つ辻で、四方へ焼け広がったとのことである。八つ半（午前三時頃）頃に鎮火した。会所にてその知らせを受け、二条御役所へお見舞いに参上すべきとのことで、業久・保土が評議所まで出向き、供の者たちも揃ったところ、仲間（ちゅうげん）の権兵衛が申すには、「西上にて、一条より下（南）とは見えません。御所・御役所ともにご出頭には及びますまい。先年の大文字屋の火事の際にも、御所へはご出向になりましたが、二条へはご出向にはなりませんでした」
と申したので、評議所より宿へ帰った。翌朝に確認したところ、舟橋（の火事）とのことであった。
廿一日 未 晴 少し曇り、昼後より微雨
一、巳の半刻（午前十時頃）頃、御奉行・日野弁殿より神主へ召状が到来した。御用の件があるので、一社惣代（当社の惣代全員）がただちに参上するようにとのことである。別に剪紙（せんし）の添書があり、位階の小折紙（こおりがみ）の件についてお尋ねの件があるとのことであった。即刻、惣代の業久・保土が出頭したところ、雑掌の水谷木工が出てきて申し聞かせたことには、「長季の五位加給の中置（なかおき）に二十二年とあるが、二十一年ではないかとお思いになっているので、改めてよく吟味して、もし相違があれば、書き直し次第早々に差し出すように」とのことであった。惣代はそれを承知して帰り、よく吟味して書き改め、翌日早々に差し上げる旨を申し入れた。保土が言うには、「季脩の従四位上の勘例については、この間、仰せにより別例を差し上げました。それ以外に、摂社の祠官で四十一、二、三歳にて従四位上の勅許を蒙った分を、私の心覚えとして書き付けて持参いたしました。その上、大田社の祠官・図書頭（ずしょのかみ）」
英語訳
[Continuation from previous folio] ...(the zōshō official) appeared but was told his attendance was not required and left. It should be noted that today's proceedings had not been announced in advance to the members of the shrine priesthood (shoku-chū), and the gathering had been arranged solely through consultation between Hokaku and Kuniuji. This was the continuation of the recording of court ranks and appointments since the imperial sanction (chokukyō) granted last winter.
Item: Regarding the conversation with Suenaga — concerning the matter of Hodo's retirement from office, which had been submitted to the meeting hall (kaisho) some days ago: although it was considered a reasonable request, it was firmly conveyed that carrying out such a matter at this particular time would not be appropriate, and that for now he should reconsider and ensure that no public announcement of the retirement be made. Accordingly, the matter was left as it stood.
Item: From around the middle of the first watch of the night (around 8 p.m.), a fire broke out in Kyoto. The location was the crossroads of Funahashi, and the flames spread in all four directions. The fire was extinguished around the half of the eighth hour (around 3 a.m.). Upon receiving word of this at the meeting hall, it was decided that they should go to pay their respects at the Nijō official quarters (go-yakusho). Gyōkyū and Hodo proceeded to the Council Hall, and their attendants assembled; however, the manservant (chūgen) Gonbei reported: "Looking to the northwest, it does not appear to be south of Ichijō. There is no need to proceed to either the Imperial Palace or the official quarters. In the great fire of the Daimonjiya in years past, a visit was made to the Palace, but not to Nijō."
Upon hearing this, the party returned from the Council Hall to their lodgings. When they made enquiries the following morning, they confirmed it had indeed been the Funahashi fire.
Twenty-First Day, Hour of the Sheep [early afternoon], Clear with some clouds; light rain from after noon
Item: Around the half of the Hour of the Snake (approximately 10 a.m.), a summons arrived from the Commissioner (go-bugyō), the Honorable Hino Benden, addressed to the chief priest. It stated that there was official business, and that the general representatives of the shrine should appear immediately. Separately, an attached note written on cut paper (senshi) indicated that there was an inquiry concerning the matter of the small folded paper (ko-origami) relating to court ranks. Immediately, the general representatives Gyōkyū and Hodo presented themselves, whereupon the zōshō official Mizutani Moku came out and conveyed the following: "In the records concerning Nagatoki's promotion to the Fifth Rank, the interval (nakаoki) is recorded as twenty-two years; however, it is believed this should be twenty-one years. Please investigate the matter further, and if there is indeed a discrepancy, submit the corrected document as soon as it is ready." The general representatives acknowledged this and returned, stating that they would investigate thoroughly, make the necessary corrections, and submit them early the following day. Hodo then said: "Regarding the precedents (kanrei) for Suenaga's promotion to Junior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade (jushii no jō), I submitted supplementary precedents (betsu-rei) the other day in accordance with instructions. In addition, I brought along a personal memorandum I had made concerning cases of shrine officials (hafuri-kan) of affiliated shrines (sessha) who received imperial sanction for Junior Fourth Rank, Upper Grade at the ages of forty-one, forty-two, or forty-three. Furthermore, regarding the shrine official of Ōta Shrine who holds the title of Zusho no Kami (Head of the Bureau of Books and Drawings)..."
