一、木下藤吉郎秀吉は、この頃小谷山の浅井氏の跡に住城されていたところ、越前国の一揆が蜂起して、国中に信長公が置かれた城主たちことごとく打ち取られた旨を聞き、敦賀表へ霜月〔抹消・脇書：「二十八日か」〕に追発（出陣）された。（秀吉に）したがう人々には、磯野丹波守・阿閉淡路守の息・万五郎・新庄駿河守・堀二郎の陣代・樋口三郎兵衛など、総じてその勢い六千余騎が走〔脇書：「せ」〕向かった。《割書：六千とは申せども、三千ばかりにて有るべきと存じ候》
一、信長公が聞かれて、江州犬上郡佐和山に居城する丹羽五郎左衛門尉長秀の元へ仰せ遣わされたのは、
【左丁】
「越前国の一揆が蜂起して、秀吉が敦賀面へ走り参る旨、注進あり。汝も秀吉に相添い討ち治めよ」と仰せ越されたので、長秀も楼坂口（老坂口）へ走り参った。したがう人々には、多賀新右衛門尉・小川孫四郎・山崎源太左衛門尉・高野瀬越中守〔脇書：「左近とも」〕など、総じてその勢い四千余騎。《割書：これも二千にて有るべきと存じ候》秀吉の手も長秀の手も、雪が深く降り積もったので、鳥ならでは駆けりがたし（鳥でなければ進み難い状況となった）。秀吉・長秀が相談して岐阜へ注進申し上げられたところ、信長公が聞かれて、「早々にその表（方面）より引き取るべし。来年、雪消え次第に……」

(Continued from the previous page) ...and thus the orders were given.
Item: Kinoshita Tōkichirō Hideyoshi had at this time taken up residence in the former castle of the Azai clan at Odani-yama. Upon hearing that the ikki of Echizen Province had risen up and had killed off all the castle lords whom Lord Nobunaga had installed throughout the province, Hideyoshi set out urgently toward the Tsuruga front in the eleventh month [deletion/side note: "possibly the 28th day"]. Among those who accompanied him were Isono Tanba no Kami, the son of Aobe Awaji no Kami (Mangōrō), Shinjo Suruga no Kami, the acting commander for Hori Jirō, Higuchi Saburōbei, and others—totaling more than six thousand horsemen who rushed forward [side note: "se" (an alternate reading)]. 《Inserted note: Although six thousand is stated, it is believed that there were probably no more than three thousand.》
Item: Upon hearing of this, Lord Nobunaga sent word to Niwa Gorōzaemon no Jō Nagahide, who was garrisoned at Sawayama in Inukami District, Ōmi Province:
[Left folio]
"A report has come that the ikki of Echizen Province has risen up and that Hideyoshi is rushing to the Tsuruga front. You too should join forces with Hideyoshi and suppress them." Upon receiving these orders, Nagahide likewise rushed toward the Rōsaka-guchi (Rōsaka Pass entrance). Among those accompanying him were Taga Shin'emon no Jō, Ogawa Magoshirō, Yamazaki Genta-zaemon no Jō, Takanose Etchū no Kami [side note: "also known as Sakon"], and others—totaling more than four thousand horsemen. 《Inserted note: This force too is believed to have been approximately two thousand.》 However, both Hideyoshi's force and Nagahide's force found the snow so deep and heavily accumulated that it was impossible to advance—as if one would need to be a bird to make progress. Hideyoshi and Nagahide conferred and sent a report to Gifu. Upon hearing of this, Lord Nobunaga said: "Withdraw from that front immediately. As soon as the snow melts next year..."
