英語訳
There was a great earthquake in Edo. Eleven years passed from that, and in the reign of the one hundred and twelfth emperor, Emperor Gosai, on the first day of the fifth month of the second year of Kanbun, the year of *Mizunoe-Tora* (壬寅), there was an earthquake, and the Toyokuni Mausoleum on Higashiyama collapsed. Twenty-two years passed from that, and in the reign of the one hundred and thirteenth emperor, Emperor Reigen, on the fifth day of the fourth month of the third year of Tenna, the year of *Mizunoe-I* (癸亥), there was an earthquake at Nikkōzan in Shimotsuke, and at the same time a great earthquake struck Edo. In the tenth month of the same year, there was an earthquake in Ōsumi Province, and the sea became land. Twenty years passed from that, and in the reign of the one hundred and fourteenth emperor, Emperor Higashiyama, on the twenty-third day of the eleventh month of the sixteenth year of Genroku, the year of *Mizunoto-Hitsuji* (癸未), there was a great earthquake in the Kantō region, and it is said that tremors continued for more than two hundred days thereafter. Three years passed from that, and on the eighteenth day of the sixth month of the fourth year of Hōei, the year of *Hinoto-I* (丁亥), the embankment at Sarugamata in Shimotsuke sank into the ground to a depth of several tens of *jō*——
【Marginal note】
In the second year of Genryaku (which is the same as the first year of Bunji), the year of *Kinoto-Mi* (乙巳), on the ninth day of the seventh month in autumn, at the Hour of the Horse (around noon), the earth of Yamashiro Province cracked open and there was a great earthquake. At this time, the eight-sided, nine-storied pagoda of Hōshōji Temple in Okazaki, and the Sanjūsangendō hall, collapsed as far as seventeen *ken* in. ——This appears in *The Tale of the Heike*.
