初，有醫者善治疾，本高麗人，不知其始自何而來，亦不著其姓名，居女直之完顏部。 Early on there was a physician renowned for his skill. A native of Goryeo, he had come from parts unknown and left no name in the record; he settled among the Wanyan Jurchen.

穆宗時戚屬有疾，此醫者診視之，穆宗謂醫者曰：「汝能使此人病癒，則吾遣人送汝歸汝鄉國。」 In the reign of Emperor Muzong a royal kinsman fell ill, and this physician was called to treat him. Muzong told the physician, "If you can cure him, I will have you escorted home to your own country."

醫者曰：「諾。」 The physician answered, "I shall."

其人疾果愈，穆宗乃以初約歸之。 The patient recovered, and Muzong honored his original promise and sent the physician home.

乙離骨嶺僕散部胡石來勃堇居高麗、女直之兩間，穆宗使族人叟阿招之，因使叟阿送醫者，歸之高麗境上。 Hushilai, a Pusan chieftain at Yiliguri Ridge, lived between Goryeo and Jurchen territory. Muzong dispatched his kinsman Sou'a to summon him and, at the same time, to escort the physician back to the Goryeo frontier.

醫者歸至高麗，因謂高麗人，女直居黑水部者部族日強，兵益精悍，年穀屢稔。 Back in Goryeo, the physician warned the court that the Jurchen of the Heishui branch were growing stronger by the day, their warriors ever more formidable, and their harvests consistently plentiful.
