                        139.DEMESNES AND HOMESTEADS, c. 1490
                               (Iriki-in docs.; also KK;Sk,XXX.)
THE first part seems to be wanting. There ia a great deal of institutional information which may be 
culled from the analysis of this and No. 140. The names of mura and aza will be distingushed be-
low; themura are widely scatterd over various parts of Iriki in and even beyond: the aza names
are all interesting, and some are indicative of the original condition of the plots, but a translation
of the words would take us too far afield. Some words may be found in Nos. 59 and 104 and Index.
For the kado, see No. 104, n. 22, and No. 138, n. 6. For the lord's "own cultivation" (zhi-saku), or,
demesne,see No. 18, n. 4.

  4Chu-gen, "middling." Their atatus is not explained; nor is it known whether the two men had
to do with this lot only.
  5Hata had formerly been counted roughly by the number of plots or groups of plots situated
at the same place; gradually their extents had begun to be stated in records.
  6Ya-shiki, homestead, included land attached to it. In the following list, the ya-shiki are speci-
fied by the personal names of the occupants.
  7Two characters unintelligible, resembling tsukuri-ko, literally, cultivating child. One would ex-
pect here the name of a place or a lot.
