English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, officials and people of the realm, all of you hear the edict I proclaim as the words of the emperor.I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which proclaims: “Mokuhi-no-Tarushima just gave himself up telling me of the treason. Thinking and asking him about it he said that this had been going on for months and years. Tarushima should be punished according to the law. However I encourage his giving himself up and telling me of this as my servant for months and years so I raise his cap and rank.”I proclaim, all of you hear the imperial edict which proclaims on a separate note: “Awata-no-Hirobe and Ato-no-Katashiwame, my vassals who were involved in the treason, hid it and did not tell me of it, should be beheaded according to the law. However, according to my feelings for them I forgive and care for them and punish them to be expelled to a distance province.”
