In and around Kyoto, some people may laugh at me, saying, "How can an eastern guy who doesn't know the fact dare say such a thing?" and some people may ask me back, saying, "There already are great Ritsuryo codes as the criteria for trials, aren't there?'"'
京都辺りでは『ものも知らぬあずまえびすどもが何を言うか』と笑う人があるかも知れないし、またその規準としてはすでに立派な律令があるではないかと反問されるかもしれない。
