皇帝敬問太山朗和上。遭家多難災禍屢臻。昔在建熙王室西越。賴武王中興。神武御世大啟東夏。拯拔區域遐邇蒙蘇。天下幸甚。天未忘災。武王即晏。永康之始西傾東蕩。京華主上播越。每思靈闕。屏營飲淚。朕以無德。生在亂兵遺民未幾繼承天祿。幸和上大恩神祇蓋護。使者送絹百匹。并假東齊王奉高山荏二縣封給。書不盡意。稱朕心焉。

The Emperor respectfully inquires after Upādhyāya Lang of Mount Tai. Having met with many hardships in our house, disasters and calamities have repeatedly arrived. Formerly, in the Jianxi era, the royal house fled westward. Relying on King Wu's restoration, his divine martial prowess governed the world and vastly opened the eastern lands; he rescued and elevated the realm, and far and near received revitalization. The world was exceedingly fortunate. Yet Heaven had not forgotten disaster: King Wu suddenly passed away. At the beginning of the Yongkang era, we leaned to the west and were tossed to the east; the sovereign of the capital fled into exile. Whenever I think of the numinous palace, I pace anxiously and drink my tears. Having no virtue, I was born amid chaotic troops, and with the surviving people not yet settled, I succeeded to the heavenly mandate. Relying on the Upādhyāya's great grace and the canopy of protection from the spirits and deities, an envoy is sent with one hundred bolts of silk, and I additionally bestow the revenues of the two counties of Fenggao and Shanren in Eastern Qi. The letter cannot exhaust my meaning, but expresses my heart.
