唐貞觀十七年九月。涼州都督李襲譽因巡境。至州東南昌泉縣界。有石表文。合一百一十字。乃有七佛八菩薩上果佛田等字。以狀表奏聞。有恩勅覆撿如其所奏。下於所司令發急詔涼府給復一年。罪者赦之。

In the ninth month of the seventeenth year of the Zhenguan reign era of the Tang dynasty, Li Xiyu, the Area Commander of Liangzhou, while patrolling his territory, reached the boundary of Changquan County to the southeast of the prefecture. There was an inscription on a stone tablet totaling one hundred and ten characters, which included such words as 'Seven Buddhas', 'Eight Bodhisattvas', 'Supreme Fruit', and 'Buddha-field'. He memorialized the matter to the throne in a report. An imperial decree was issued ordering a reinvestigation, which found everything just as he had reported. Orders were handed down to the responsible officials to dispatch an urgent imperial edict granting the Liangzhou Area Command a one-year exemption from taxes and corvée, and pardoning criminals.
