1. 粟田道麻呂 大津大浦 石川長年等尔勅久　朕師大臣禅師乃宣久　愚痴仁在奴方 思和久事毛無之天　人乃不当无礼止 見咎牟流乎毛不知之天　悪友尔所引率流物在。

2. 是以　此奴等毛 如是久逆穢心乎 発天在計利止方　既明仁知奴。

3. 由此天理波 法乃末尔末尔治給倍久在。

4. 然此遍方猶　道鏡伊 所賜天 彼等我惑心乎方 教導天 貞久浄伎心乎以天 朝庭乃御奴止奉仕之米无止 宣尔依天　汝等我罪方免給。

5. 但官方解給不。

6. 散位止之天奉仕止勅御命乎　聞食倍止宣。

7. 　又勅久　従今往前仁小過毛 在人仁所率流止之所聞波　必法乃末尔末仁罪奈比給岐良比給止勅御命乎　聞食倍止宣。

English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, hear the imperial edict which I proclaim to Awata-no-Michimaro, Otsu-no-Oura and Ishikawa-no-Nagatoshi: “My high priest (Dokyo?) proclaimed: ‘The loathed men who are stupid do not make wise judgements and neither do they know to criticize people who are frivolous and have no manners when they see them and they are enticed by bad fellows. So it is already clearly known that these loathed men have [in turn] stirred up backward and dirty sentiments.’ So the logical thing is that I should rule according to the law. However on this occasion Dokyo still accepts? them and says, ‘teach and lead their confused hearts, and make them serve as imperial servants with a correct and pure heart,’ so I forgive them of their crimes. However, I relinquish you of your official duties. Serve as role-less ranked officials!”I proclaim, hear the imperial edict which also proclaims: “If I hear that you have been enticed by [even] a person who has small flaws from now on, I will without fail make you face your punishment according to the law and cast you aside.”
