Silla新羅
1Where Silla came from
新羅者，其先本辰韓種也。辰韓亦曰秦韓，相去萬里，傳言秦世亡人避役來適馬韓，馬韓亦割其東界居之，以秦人，故名之曰秦韓。其言語名物有似中國人，名國爲邦，弓爲弧，賊爲寇，行酒爲行觴。相呼皆爲徒，不與馬韓同。又辰韓王常用馬韓人作之，世相係，辰韓不得自立爲王，明其流移之人故也；恒爲馬韓所制。辰韓始有六國，稍分爲十二，新羅則其一也。其國在百濟東南五千餘里。其地東濱大海，南北與句驪、百濟接。魏時曰新盧，宋時曰新羅，或曰斯羅。其國小，不能自通使聘。普通二年，王募名秦，始使使隨百濟奉獻方物。
As for Silla, its forebears were in origin a branch of the Jinhan. Jinhan was also called Qinhan (秦韓), and it lay ten thousand li away. It is handed down that in the time of Qin men who fled the labor service came to Mahan, and Mahan cut off its eastern border and let them live there, and because they were men of Qin they named it Qinhan. Their speech and the names of things were like those of the people of China. They call a kingdom bang, a bow ho, a bandit gu, and the passing of wine haengsang, and they all call one another do (徒), which is not the same as Mahan. Again, the king of Jinhan was always made from a man of Mahan, and the line was carried on age after age, for Jinhan could not set up a king of its own. This makes it plain that they were people who had drifted in from elsewhere, and they were always held in check by Mahan. Jinhan had six kingdoms at first and was divided little by little into twelve, and Silla was one of them. That kingdom lies more than five thousand li southeast of Baekje. Its land touches the great sea on the east, and on the south and the north it borders Guryeo and Baekje. In the time of Wei it was called Sillo (新盧), in the time of Song Silla, and some call it Sara (斯羅). That kingdom was small and could not send envoys of itself. In the second year of Putong its king Mojin (募秦) first sent an envoy to follow the men of Baekje and offer local products.
2The speech and the offices of Silla
其俗呼城曰健牟羅，其邑在內曰啄評，在外曰邑勒，亦中國之言郡縣也。國有六啄評，五十二邑勒。土地肥美，宜植五穀。多桑麻，作縑布。服牛乘馬，男女有別。其官名，有子賁旱支、齊旱支、謁旱支、壹告支、奇貝旱支。其冠曰遺子禮，襦曰尉解，洿曰柯半，靴曰洗。其拜及行與高驪相類。無文字，刻木爲信。語言待百濟而後通焉。
In their customs they call a walled town geonmora, and a settlement within they call takpyeong and one without eumneuk, and these too are the same as a commandery or a county in the speech of China. The kingdom has six takpyeong and fifty-two eumneuk. The soil is rich and good and fit for planting the five grains. There are many mulberry trees and much hemp, and they make fine silk cloth. They work oxen and ride horses, and there is a distinction between men and women. Among the names of their offices there are jabunhanji, jehanji, alhanji, ilgoji and gipaehanji. They call a hat yujarye, a jacket wihae, trousers gaban, and shoes se. Their bowing and their manner of walking are like those of Goguryeo. They have no writing, and they cut notches in wood for a pledge. Their speech passes only when men of Baekje stand between.
