十八日、正月二十日の夜、正月二十六日の夜——これまでの地震は、揺れが続くことなく（散発的であり）、五月上旬まで少々ずつあった。その後、六月十二日の夜七ツ時（午前0時頃）に地震があったが、それは平常時にたまに起こる程度の地震であった。これほどの大地震の中で、命を保って生き延びられたことはありがたいことと思い、信心に励むべきである。そのうえ、忠義・孝行の余暇には、近辺の名所旧跡にも足を運んでみたいとは思うものの、地震の疲れや農作業の遅れもあり、ようやく今年の御上納（年貢）をすべて納め終えて、年を越した。明けると、地震も申年のうちに収まり、御触れ（改元）も改まり——

18th, the night of the 20th of the 1st month, and the night of the 26th of the 1st month — the earthquakes recorded up to this point did not shake continuously, occurring occasionally and sporadically until early in the 5th month. After that, while there was an earthquake at the seventh hour [around midnight] on the night of the 12th of the 6th month, it was of the sort that occasionally occurs in ordinary times.
One should feel gratitude for having survived such a great earthquake with one's life, and devote oneself to religious faith. Furthermore, although I wished, in my spare time beyond the duties of loyalty and filial piety, to visit the famous scenic spots and historical sites in the vicinity, due to exhaustion from the earthquake and falling behind in agricultural work, we barely managed to complete payment of this year's tribute [nengu] and saw the year out. As the new year dawned, the earthquakes had settled within the Year of the Monkey, and the era name too was changed —
