We have many fundamental studies on Shozeicho 正税帳 (balance sheets of tax rice) in the Tenpyo 天平 era. Almost all of them attempt to restore their original forms, for they were cut into many segments so that the backs of them could be used as account books in the Shakyojo 写経所 (the Sutra copying office), a section of the Zotodaijishi 造東大寺司 (office in charge of building the temple of Todaiji 東大寺). In those days paper was precious, and the Shakyojo required great quantities of paper to record data on Sutra copying. Their restoration is, however, based almost exclusively on the re-creation of their content. Therefore it is no exaggeration to say that the restoration of Shozeicho is now at a standstill. In this paper the author shows a new and different way of restoring these ledgers by relying on the states of their re-use in the Shakyojo. For that work, it is necessary first to restore the account books of the Shakyojo, because they have also lost their original form due to a number of re-arrangements beginning with Hoida Tadatomo 穂井田忠友. Then we must understand the whole system of Sutra copying in the Tenpyo era. From this point of view, the author offers an opinion as to the names of the Gun 郡 of the three segments for which we have no geographic locations. The segment-D of Bungo-no-Kuni Shozeicho 豊後国正税帳 (balance sheet of tax rice of Bungo province) in Tenpyo 9th year (737) belongs to Ono-Gun 大野郡, and both the segment-F and H of Owari-no-Kuni Shozeicho 尾張国正税帳 in Tenpyo 6th year (734) belong to Ama-Gun 海部郡. This way of restoring is not always effective ; however, without this point of view there would be no progress in the study on not only Shozeicho but also Sekicho 籍帳. This is one reason why we should study Sutra copying in the nara 奈良 period.
