                  124. TERAO DO-KEN'S DEVISE, 1395

                               (Terao docs.; also KK, VIII.)
Cf Nos. 109 and 120. The brother Su-Wo having been repudiated (No. 120), Do-Ken annexed his
share of the father's estate to his own (cf. No.109), and now devised both to another brother
adopted as heir.
    "To devise domains.
     "Since the aforesaid1 [domains] in To-no-hara, Iriki in, Satsuma kuni, are
Do-Ken's hereditary domains, they are hereby truly devised for all time to Take-wo-
Maru.2
  "The ta in uki-men:
one place: 1 tan at Kachi-yama;
one place: 2 tan at Tera-yama;
one place: 1 tan below the slope of Ko-ya;
one place: 1 tan, at Yuni[?]-shita;
one place: 2 tan at Kari-atsumari;
one place: 2 tan below the slope of Yama-miko;

  "O-ei 2 y. 8 m. 3 d. [18 August 1395].                    Do-Ken, (monogram)." 




  1The word "aforesaid" (migi, "right," in the original, since writing proceeds from right to left)
is used purely conventionally. In reality, the domains in this document are mentioned after, not 
before, this statement.
  2The deviser's younger brother, later Moroshige, as heir; Do-Ken had no son.
