1. 乾政官大臣仁方敢天仕奉倍伎人无時波空久置弖在官尔阿利。

2. 然　今大保方必　可仕奉之止所念坐世　多能遍重天勅止毛　敢未之時止為弖辞備申復可受賜物奈利世波祖父　仕奉天麻自。

3. 然有物乎　知所毛無久　怯久劣岐押勝我得仕奉倍岐官尔波不在　恐止申。

4. 可久申湏乎　皆人仁之毛辞止申仁依弖此官乎婆授不給止令知流事不得。

5. 又祖父大臣乃明久浄岐心以弖御世累弖天下申給比　朝廷助仕奉利多夫事乎　宇牟我自弥辱止念行弖　挂久毛畏岐聖天皇朝　太政大臣止之弖仕奉止勅祁礼止。

6. 数々辞備申多夫仁依弖受賜多婆受成尔志事毛悔止念賀故仁　今此藤原恵美朝臣能大保乎大師乃官仁仕奉止授賜夫天皇御命衆聞食宣。

English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the words of the emperor [which bestow]: “When no one can bear serving the great lords of the Department of State it is a position left empty. However I divinely think that the current Minister of the Right could certainly serve [in this role] and though I have said this many times, he rejects saying that he could not bear it and humbly says: “Again, if I were someone who should humbly receive [that role] then my father should have served in it. However, I am sorry but unable and lacking Oshikatsu, who knows nothing, is not a bureaucrat who could humbly serve [in the role].” I cannot inform everyone of what he has said, saying I will not bestow [the role] to this bureaucrat, as everyone will express their anger. Also, I think it joyous and embarrassing that the great lord, his grandfather, with a pure and clear heart has advised on governance of the world over reigns and saved the court and because I also think it regrettable that the Hijiri Emperor [Gensho], too awesome to mention, proclaimed that he would serve as a great lord of her governance and that he humbly refused many times and did not receive the role and was not in the role, now I tell the Minister of the Right, Fujiwara no Wemi Asomi, to serve as the Chancellor of the Realm.”
