天台寺故智者弟子沙門智越一眾啟。慈澤隆重喜捨頻煩,僧使後還復垂恩賚,雜彩勝幡莊嚴殿宇,綾羅法服光洽眾僧,猫酥五瓶充身去患,光明一斛藥食兼濃。越等山野糞掃分衛,今則被服溫華、食味珍甘,不自度量,彌增戰懼,不任敬悚。謹啟謝聞。謹啟。仁壽二年四月十五日。

Submitted by the assembly of the monk Zhiyue, disciple of the late Zhizhe of Tiantai Monastery. Your compassionate favor is profound and heavy, and your joyous giving is frequent; after the monk envoys returned, you again bestowed your gracious gifts: multicolored excellent banners adorn the halls and buildings, damask and silk Dharma robes shed luster on the assembly of monks, five jars of cat-brand ghee replenish the body and remove ailments, and a bushel of luminous salt enriches both medicine and food. We, Yue and the others, are rustic dwellers of the wilderness relying on rag-robes and alms-begging; now wearing warm and splendid clothes and eating precious and sweet delicacies, without measuring our own capacity, our trepidation increases all the more, and we cannot bear our reverent awe. We respectfully submit this letter of thanks. Respectfully submitted. The fifteenth day of the fourth month of the second year of the Renshou era (602 CE).
