69. うす板は床かまちより十七目、または十八十九目におけ

The thin board is placed seventeen weaves from the edge of the alcove’s step
But this is not absolute; 18 or 19 may suit

Poem 67
For a chakin’s size, measure in kanejaku 1 shaku long;
Then for the width of the cloth, measure 5 sunn along

chakin oba nagami nuno haba isshaku ni
yoko wa go sun no kanejaku to shire

茶巾をば長み布はば一尺に
横は五寸のかね尺としれ
