English Translation
Giao Chi is a country that borders on China and pays tribute to its king. They say that the soldiers and fighting-men go about naked, as depicted, and that the citizens and men of letters wear the kind of clothing as shown. They respect the same rituals and ceremonies as the peoples from China.
