大夫、士既殯而君往焉，使人戒之，主人具殷奠之禮，俟于門外。見馬首，先入門右，巫止于門外，祝代之先，君釋菜于門內。祝先升自阼階，負墉南面。君即位于阼。小臣二人執戈立于前，二人立于後。擯者進，主人拜稽顙。君稱言，視祝而踴，主人踴。

When the ruler went to a Great officer's or a common officer's, after the coffining had taken place, he sent word beforehand of his coming. The chief mourner provided all the offerings to be set down for the dead in the fullest measure, and waited outside the gate, till he saw the heads of the horses. He then led the way in by the right side of the gate. The exorcist stopped outside, and the blesser took his place, and preceded the ruler, who put down the offerings of vegetables (for the spirit of the gate) inside it. The blesser then preceded him up the eastern steps, and took his place with his back to the wall, facing the south. The ruler took his place at (thc top of) the steps; two men with spears standing before him, and two behind. The officer of reception then advanced. The chief mourner bowed, laying his forehead to the ground. The ruler then said what he had to say; looked towards the blesser and leaped. The chief mourner then (also) leaped.
