白（伯）椃樝肇乍（作）皇考刺公尊簋，用享用孝，其萬年饗（眉）壽。畯在位，子子孫孫，永寳用之。
伯椃敦銘有二。此临嶂縣丁氏所藏初拓本。丙午嘉平，郁正先生博正之命，嬾雲 高拜石，古春風樓寫並記。

Earl Hao Zhi commissioned this honored gui vessel for Duke Ci, his deceased father, for the use of presenting offerings and honors for 10,000 years of feasting. May successive generations forever cherish and use it.
The ritual vessel of Earl Hao has two inscriptions. This is copied from an early rubbing collected by Mr. Ding of Linzhang County. On a beautiful day in 1966, upon the request of Mr. Yuzheng [Prof. Irving Lo], a knowledgeable and upstanding man, Lanyun Gao Baishi, wrote and inscribed this at the Guchunfeng (Old Spring Wind) Pavilion.

The inscriptions on this ritual bronze vessel have been recorded since the Song dynasty, 960-1279. The vessel is from the Spring and Autumn period of China (770-476 bce) of the early Eastern Zhou dynasty, 770-221 bce.
