                           33. TERAO SHIGETSUNE'S CODICIL,1277
                                         (A copy in Terao docs.; also KK, �[.)
   "Of Jo-Butsu's domains, a little is divided to granddaughter Taketsuru, and the
remainder is devised to Shigemichi. But since Yoichi and Shichiro are such churls as
openly to rage about in order to molest [other's possessions], even while I am alive,
therefore if he should attmpt to rob or to seize, the surviving children, even if they
were women, should together consult and hold the domains left by Jo-Butsu. No matter
how many children and descendants Yoichi and Shichiro may leave, they shall never
aspire to Jo-Butsu's estate(ato). This statement is made as testimony for the future.
   "Ken-chi 3 y. 12 m. 1 d. [26 December 1277].                         Jo-Butsu, Monogram.
   (The seven characters added to the original copy at its end would seem to mean: "[He] visits Kyoto.")
