English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the edict I proclaim as the words of the Emperor that says: “For the actions I perform and serve today, I choose and reward one or two people who should be rewarded, starting with the Imperial children and gathered Lords who serve in my reign. So, I raise your caps and ranks so that you will serve as long and distant as heaven and earth, inheriting your parents’ names with a clean and pure heart in reigns of Emperors yet to rule, not forgetting the relationship between lords and vassal and parent and child as in the edict I proclaim today.”I proclaim, all of you hear the Imperial edict that says: “Further, I raise the cap of officials of the Imperial heirs. Among these I raise the cap of Shimotsumichi-no-Asomi Makibi who is appointed as scholar.”
