#70 70.REPORTS ON TERAO KORESHIGE'S ESTATE, 1329 (Copies in Terao docs.; also KK, VIII.) APPARENTLY a dispute had again arisen between the Terao brothers, Shigehiro and Shigena, and both parties had been ordered to make full reports to the sho-gun's government of the estate left by their late father Koreshige. Shigehiro's report(A) was presented first, and Shigena, probably as the defendant in a new litigation, was thus enabled to define wherein his claims differed from that of his opponent. KK contains three nearly identical copies of Shigena's report(B). SK, XI, also gives a copy, but it was apparently confused a little with Shigehiro's report(A), and therefore should not be relied upon. #70-A A.

Though there is a large residue, I cannot report it in full, as I do not possess the land-register for tax collection. Since Shigehiro cunningly omits to present with his report his book of collection, despite his possession thereof, it should perhaps be ordered to the commissioner for the Chin-Zei,¹⁰ that the public ta be divided, and the residue of the soil be [granted us] to hold according to capacity.¹¹ "Houses:- 1 place, the ji-to's enclosure;¹² good. 4 places, Zho-komori mura; good; 1 house, Fujiwaki; medium.
