あったようである。右のごとく大地震により家屋が倒壊し、中には変死した者もその数が多い。あまりにも重い悲しみゆえ、恐ろしく思い、この上はただ菩提を弔うより他に何もすることがないと（思われるため）、変死者の数はここでは略すこととする。またさらに犀川の（土砂崩れによる）せき止めが続き、日数が重なり、四月十二日より十三日の昼九ッ時（正午頃）まで満水となった様子を左（次のページ）に記す。浸水した村々は両岸にわたり、松代御領分として、花倉村・ジンデヰ村（神出居村）まで家十三軒、今泉三軒、平（水内）家は残らず、船有（り）、西ノ久保三軒、吉原・分橋ノ根が付近、沢・車屋一軒、スマキ村・地蔵堂一軒が地震により犀川へ落下した。堂上・水内（にかけての地域）……

英語訳

【Right folio】
In Ōmachi, the Zen temple Reishō-ji had its main hall completely destroyed and subsequently suffered fire damage. In Furusaka, one house collapsed, and thereafter five houses were consumed in the ensuing fire. In Terasawa, one main hall collapsed; in Ishibatake, one main hall collapsed; in Shōhei, one house collapsed — and this subsequently led to the main hall also being completely destroyed. In the mountain area of Ōhinata, there was complete destruction of a main hall. In Kamizashino, a considerable number of houses collapsed, and the ground shook and spewed up mud. Furthermore, in Shōshina and Horinōchi, a small number of houses collapsed. In the villages of this vicinity, there were also small numbers of collapses here and there. In Miyamoto, a large number of houses collapsed; in Ōhira, there were house collapses; and in Kitayama, a few houses collapsed. In Hiraide, the shukubō (lodging quarters of a temple) collapsed; and in Minekataशिन्田, within Sodeyama, the ground shifted and a small number of houses collapsed. Furthermore, in Chimi, Sayu, and Ōshio, a few houses collapsed; in Shikajō, houses collapsed — and particularly in Horinōchi, a large number of houses collapsed. There were likely further damages beyond these as well.

【Left folio】
As described above, from this great earthquake, countless houses collapsed, and among those affected, many people died sudden or violent deaths. The grief is so heavy and the events so dreadful to contemplate that there is nothing left to do but pray for the repose of the dead — and for this reason, the count of those who died sudden deaths is omitted here. Furthermore, the damming of the Sai River (by landslide debris) continued for many days, and the state of full flooding from the 12th day of the 4th month through the hour of Kokonotsu (approximately noon) on the 13th day is recorded on the left (following page). The villages that were inundated stretched along both banks; within the Matsushiro domain's territory, from Hanakura Village and Jindeyi Village (Jindeī-mura), thirteen houses (were flooded); in Imaizumi, three houses; in Taira (Mizuchi), all houses without exception — boats were present; in Nishinokubo, three houses; near Yoshiwara and Wakebashinone, in Sawa, one building belonging to a cart-house (kurumaya); in Sumaki Village, one Jizō-dō (wayside hall housing a Jizō bodhisattva statue) fell into the Sai River due to the earthquake.
