現代語訳
一、文化元年子五月三日、高田孫左衛門組の山崎金右衛門の妻が三つ子を出産した旨を孫左衛門が申し聞け、家老中へ申し達したところ、追って公辺へお届けするべき旨が伝えられた。
但し右について俵数にて一件諸組に諸々下されたことが条に出ている。
一、享保十二年未十二月十六日、平本作野右衛門支配の忍びの者、三輪金五右衛門という者が当年七月に自滅した。右の跡をまだ召し抱えず、長々と空けており不注意であった。御吟味の上、一人減らされ、これ以後忍びの者を十人に仰せ付けられた。減らされたことであるので、右の金五右衛門が相果てた以後の御扶持切米を差し上げるよう、仮支配の岡半右衛門へ申し渡すべき旨を、芦田右衛門方の月番儀左衛門へ申し聞け、その段を儀左衛門宅へ半右衛門を招いて申し渡した。付記として同十三年申九月十六日、忍び下役の者（四石五斗二人扶持ずつ）二人の減切が仰せ付けられた【同十五年戌十二月十五日、また忍び下役両人が仰せ付けられた。右について屋敷地が下されたことは小役人以下屋敷の部に出ている】
一、享保十三年申九月十六日、御留守組は先年増員していたが両組合わせて十人減らされ、以前の通り十一人ずつとなった。これにより勤め方の儀は以前の通り相勤めるべき旨。ただし増員が仰せ付けられた節、切手御門の御留守物頭当番の節に下番を差し置くことと、手引を一人ずつ下されることは近年仰せ出されたことにつき、そのまま差し置かれた。右について当番勤め方、また御先物頭・玉薬奉行・御城代与力等への通し方などのことまで委細に留めがある。この節より太鼓御門下番の御留守組を相止め、御先組にて太鼓御門下番を勤める。〇御長柄両組の内にて十人減らされた〇郡組三組の内にて十五人減らされた（但し一組五人ずつ）〇作事組両組にて一組五人ずつ都合十人減らされた〇付記として御作事方小遣四人の内一人減らされた
一、同十六年亥五月二十五日、御駕の者十人が御長柄組に仰せ付けられた〇同十七年子十一月十六日、御長柄奉行が相願った。御長柄の者は一組四十五人ずつ両組九十人のところ、昨年十人の御入人があり、以後総組の内にて十人を明け減らしに仰せ付けられた。その後病死等の者の跡三人の跡を減らしに申し付けたが、組仲間の才覚銀も成らず難儀につき、残る七人を増員に仰せ付けられるか、又は右の御入人七人の分を明け減らしに仰せ付け下されるよう相願ったところ、同二十一日、右の残る七人の分を増組に仰せ付けられた旨が申し渡された
一、宝暦元年未三月二十日、江戸表において御側物頭岡三郎右衛門の儀、御目付役藤田惣七の跡を仰せ付けられた。これにより三郎右衛門の儀、只今まで御預かりの組の者を御役組に相願い、その通り仰せ付けられ、惣七の元組の者は御番組に仰せ付けられた
一、一丁後の享保十八年丑を見合わせるべし
一、享保十七年子十二月八日、江戸御目付小林又右衛門の願いにつき、松岡元御目付横田十右衛門組の内から又右衛門組へ増員三人が入れられた留めがある
但し元文三年午年、小林又右衛門は御国引越しを仰せ付けられ江戸御目付を止め、又右衛門組九人は栃屋半右衛門の増組に仰せ付けられた 十一月五日
延享元年子十月二十五日、栃屋半右衛門は札所総奉行を仰せ付けられ、只今までの持組を札所御用に召し仕うべき旨 十二月十一日、右の組は御侍格を仰せ付けられ、鉄砲も来年目中より異風にて打つよう仰せ付けられたにつき、小頭の儀は御金蔵下番へ御抜きを下され置き、総組の者共の口留抜順帳に留め置くべき旨、右の趣を大谷助六方が申し聞けた
御持筒組へ相渡した武具一組分

裏 武事の部
一、享保二年酉六月十一日、評定所において御武具の手入れが粗末にならず、虫干しを早く仕舞わないよう御武具奉行へ申し渡され、物頭中へも面々預かりの武具の手入れも虫干しの節に念を入れるよう半大夫から申し伝えた
一、同年十月十一日、評定所 土屋十郎右衛門
御武具の内、古損して御用に立たず、修覆すべき様もない御道具、又はそのまま差し置けば数も分からないものがある。このような類いを御払い物に致したい旨を御家老中へ相伺ったところ、右の通り御用に立たないものであれば、払いとして然るべき旨を申し聞けた
一、御足軽具足の古損の分を新しきに取り替える古具足の内、前々より具足屋に下されれば少々御作料に差し継ぐことがあり、毎年少々ずつ相渡す。御家中に望み申す方もおられれば、具足屋方から遣るようにすべきかと御家老中へ相伺ったところ、御家中へ取り申すことであれば、なお以て差し支えない儀であるので、その通りにして然るべき旨を申し聞けた
英語訳
1. On the 3rd day of the 5th month of Bunka 1, Yamazaki Kinzaemon's wife from Takada Magoemon's group gave birth to triplets. When Magoemon reported this and it was communicated to the senior retainers, it was stated that notification should subsequently be made to the authorities.
Note: Regarding this matter, various items were distributed to all groups according to rice bale quantities, as recorded in the regulations.
1. On the 16th day of the 12th month of Kyōhō 12, Miwa Kingorōemon, a ninja under the command of Hiramoto Sakunozaemon, committed suicide in the 7th month of that year. His position remained unfilled for a long time, which was careless. After investigation, one person was reduced, and henceforth the number of ninja was set at ten. Since this was a reduction, the stipend rice allocated after Kingorōemon's death was to be surrendered, as communicated to temporary supervisor Oka Hanzaemon through monthly duty officer Gizaemon at Ashida Zaemon's residence, where Hanzaemon was summoned to receive these instructions. Additionally, on the 16th day of the 9th month of the same 13th year, two ninja subordinates (4 koku 5 tō, 2 men's provisions each) had their positions cut. [On the 15th day of the 12th month of the same 15th year, two ninja subordinates were again appointed. Regarding the residential land granted for this, it appears in the section on residences for minor officials and below.]
1. On the 16th day of the 9th month of Kyōhō 13, the castle guard groups, which had been increased in previous years, were reduced by ten people across both groups, returning to the previous number of eleven people each. Accordingly, their duties were to be performed as before. However, the practices established in recent years when personnel were increased—namely, posting lower guards during checkpoint gate duty when castle guard commanders were on duty, and providing one guide each—were maintained. Detailed records exist regarding duty schedules and communication methods with advance scouts, gunpowder magistrates, castle deputies, and their assistants. From this time, the castle guard group's duty at the drum gate was discontinued, and the advance group took over drum gate guard duty. ○Ten people were reduced from the two long-spear groups ○Fifteen people were reduced from the three county groups (five from each group) ○Ten people total were reduced from the two construction groups (five from each group) ○Additionally, one person was reduced from the four construction department assistants.
1. On the 25th day of the 5th month of the same 16th year, ten palanquin bearers were appointed to the long-spear group. ○On the 16th day of the 11th month of the same 17th year, the long-spear magistrate made a petition: The long-spear personnel consisted of forty-five people per group, totaling ninety across both groups. Last year ten additional personnel were added, after which ten positions within the total groups were designated as vacant reductions. Subsequently, three positions were reduced following deaths from illness, but since the groups could not manage the required funds, they petitioned either to appoint the remaining seven as additional personnel or to designate these seven additional personnel positions as vacant reductions. On the 21st of the same month, it was announced that the remaining seven positions would be appointed as additional group members.
1. On the 20th day of the 3rd month of Hōreki 1, at Edo, Oka Saburōzaemon, a personal attendant commander, was appointed to succeed Inspector Fujita Sōshichi. Accordingly, Saburōzaemon's previously supervised group members were petitioned to become official duty group members, which was approved, and Sōshichi's former group members were appointed to guard duty groups.
1. Reference should be made to Kyōhō 18, one page later.
1. On the 8th day of the 12th month of Kyōhō 17, at the request of Edo Inspector Kobayashi Matazaemon, three additional personnel were transferred from former Matsudoka Inspector Yokota Jūzaemon's group to Matazaemon's group, as recorded.
Note: In the 3rd month of Genbun 3, Kobayashi Matazaemon was ordered to relocate to the domain and ceased being Edo Inspector. Matazaemon's nine group members were appointed to Tochiya Hanzaemon's additional group on the 5th day of the 11th month.
On the 25th day of the 10th month of Enkyō 1, Tochiya Hanzaemon was appointed as chief magistrate of checkpoint stations, and his current group was to serve checkpoint duties. On the 11th day of the 12th month, this group was granted samurai status, and from the middle of the following year, they were ordered to carry firearms in foreign style. Accordingly, the squad leader was transferred to treasury guard duty, and all group members were to be recorded in the confidential transfer ledger, as communicated by Ōtani Sukeroku.
Military equipment distributed to one gun-bearing group unit:
1. Guard armor 21 sets
Note: Lacquered in red with three gold stripes each, including high cords and waist attachment ropes
1. Leather hats with cord rings 21 pieces
Note: Of the total metal fittings, four have copper-tin inlay work

Back Military Affairs Section
1. On the 11th day of the 6th month of Kyōhō 2, it was ordered at the council that military equipment maintenance should not be careless and that insect-proofing should not be completed hastily. This was communicated to the military equipment magistrates, and it was also conveyed through Handayū that the various commanders should pay careful attention to maintenance and insect-proofing of their respective equipment.
1. On the 11th day of the 10th month of the same year, at the council, Tsuchiya Jūrōzaemon reported: Among the military equipment, there are old and damaged items that are not useful for official purposes and cannot be repaired, as well as items whose quantities are unknown if left as they are. He petitioned the senior retainers to dispose of such items as discarded goods. In response, he was told that if such items are indeed not useful for official purposes, it would be appropriate to dispose of them.
1. Regarding old damaged foot soldier armor being replaced with new sets: In the past, old armor was given to armor craftsmen, who could use it to supplement construction costs somewhat, with small amounts distributed annually. If there are those in the samurai household who desire them, should they be distributed through the armor craftsmen? When this was inquired of the senior retainers, they replied that if it concerns distribution to the samurai household, there should be no particular objection, so it would be appropriate to proceed accordingly.
