English translation by Millichip:
I proclaim, all of you hear the edict which says: “You, the Lord with the great army and the great Ki-no-Kosami-no-Asomi, of the lower fourth rank, who I sent out to deal with the barbarians in the province of Michinoku, you did not obey the original plan I sent you out with and you did not go to the end and expel all the barbarians. You destroyed your army and used up all your rations and came back. Although I should inquire about this and punish you for it according to the law, I will not make you face consequences and forgive taking into account your previous service. Further, the Lords of the second army, Ikeda-no-Asomi Mahirato, of the lower fifth rank, and Abe-no-Sashima-no-Omi, of the lower fifth rank, are of poor ability and lacking and did not respond to the situation appropriately and were lacking and idle in their promises. Considering the laws no, Suminawa should be beheaded and Mahira should be relinquished of his post and his cap taken. However, since Suminawa has performed the good dead of serving for a long time as the border-guard I pardon him from being beheaded. and only remove is position and cap. Since Mahira has performed the good deed of rescuing a drowning soldier at the port of Hikami I pardon him from having his cap removed and only remove his position. Further, I reward those who have done a few good deeds according to their worth and I pardon those who have committed petty crimes.”
