Tang Dynasty Inscription In researching a Tang inscription (661 CE) I came across this in a journal article.

此外，玄导时代刻经有年号、施主、住僧可考的，有唐显庆六年（661）涿城府左果毅都尉杨社生及其一家施刻的“心经”[附注11]

　(11)显庆六年“心经”题记:“雍州栎阳县游骑将军守左卫涿城府左果毅都尉杨社生、母段、妻扈、息怀庆、玄嗣、玄黎、玄……眷属、缘此功德、齐成正觉。显庆六年二月八日造。

I think I mostly understand what it says, but I'd like to get a second opinion. The first passage is modern Chinese, the inscription is from 661 CE.  

Very roughly... 

Furthermore, from the era of Xuándǎo (玄导) there is an inscription dated to the 6th year of Tang Dynasty, Xiǎnqìng era [a reign name of 唐高宗 Táng Gāozōng] (661). The donor, one 杨社生 Yáng Shèshēng (涿城府左果毅都尉 city guard, commander of the left) had “心经” the Heart Sutra 其一家施刻的 engraved for the benefit of his family. (See note 11)

(Note 11) The Xiǎnqìng era 6 "Heart Sutra" inscription: 雍州 Yōng Province, 櫟陽縣 Yueyang county [50 km NE of Chang'an], 游騎將軍守 mobile cavalry/chariot unit, 衛涿城府 city and government defense force, 左果毅都尉 courageous commander of the left, [named] 杨社生 Yáng Shèshēng, [To] 母段 Mother Duan, 妻扈 Wife Hu, 息仗炭, 玄嗣, 玄黎, 玄... [and individuals named] Xī Zhàngtàn, Xuánsì, Xuánlí, and Xuán[zhēn]... [and to] 眷属 family dependents 缘此功德 go the merits 齐成正觉 to make them equal to the awakening of the Buddha [正觉 = Sanskrit abhisambodhi]. Made in 顯慶 Xiǎnqìng era, 六年 6th Year, 二月 2nd month, 六日 6th day (13 March 661). 

The elided text, between 玄... 眷属 (reading directly from a blurry photo of the inscription) appears to be: "貞女天娘○○○利○山家", where ○ = a character I cannot read. The whole colophon is in three lines like this (with the extra part in square brackets): 

雍州爍陽縣游騎將軍守左衛涿城府左果毅都尉楊社生
母段 妻屆息仗炭玄嗣玄黎玄[貞女天娘○○○利○山
家]眷屁線此功德齊成正覓○○顯慶六年二月六日造

I am not clear on the exact meaning on the phrases:


玄导时  
住僧可考的  
衛涿城府
齐成正觉
母段, 妻扈


I assume that 息怀庆 is also a name, and that 玄嗣, 玄黎, and 玄貞 are the names of Buddhist monks. 

I've included an image of the source text for reference. The colophon is the last three columns on the left.
interesting question :) i answered the easier parts first:


  玄导时


the modern text should be interpreted as "玄導時代"

the era (時代) of "玄導" (a monk's dharma name 法號)


  母段, 妻扈


the surname of the mother of "楊社生" is 段. then a space, the surname of mrs "楊" is "扈".


  住僧可考的


this modern text would be 

[the era name (年号), donors (施主),] monk-in-charge (住僧) which can be (可) researchable, provable (考 --> 考據, 考證)


  齐成正觉


"齊成正覺", though i can't recognise this verse from the picture, it's quite likely correct. it means

all together (齊) achieve (成 --> 成就) enlightenment (abhisaṃbudhya　正覺 is a specialised buddhism term) 

ok, my recognition &amp; best guess:


３２１　
家母雍ａ
眷段州ｂ

緣妻陽ｄ
此扈縣ｅ

judging from the heart sutra on the right, the inscription on the left had three column, each had 26 characters.


  雍州櫟陽縣


in 661, 雍州 was the prefecture where the capital (aka 長安) located, 櫟陽縣 is a county in the prefecture 雍州

edited. well, in the past, it's common to declare one's ancestral home (籍貫), in front of their name. e.g. "通州雷學淇", "武昌劉禺生"


  游騎將軍守左衛涿城府左果毅都尉


"游騎將軍" is a rank name

守 --> 駐守 ~ to station, guard / defend  

"左衛ｘｘ府" or "右衛ｘｘ府" indicated the place stationed, ｘｘ is the name of prefecture.

涿城府 is a prefecture name. now, it's 涿州市, located southwest of peking.

"左果毅都尉" is a post name, another post is, "右果毅都尉"


  楊社生


donor, with surname "楊", name "社生"

all together, 雍州櫟陽縣游騎將軍守左衛涿城府左果毅都尉楊社生 means:

雍州櫟陽縣 --> mr 楊's ancestral home

游騎將軍 --> his current rank

守左衛涿城府  --> stationed 守 in (left guard, 左衛?) of prefecture 涿城府

左果毅都尉 --> his current post

楊社生 --> his surname &amp; most likely, his courtesy name (字)

guess

１ｘ:  deliberate space

１ｙ: 父 (father)

１ｚ: ? (character of his father's name)

end of guess


  母段　妻扈


explained, just to remind "段" &amp; "扈" are surname


  息懷慶玄嗣玄黎玄貞


息 is 子息 --> son

so, mr "楊" had four sons, named "懷慶", "玄嗣", "玄黎", and, "玄貞"


  女大娘二娘


daughter (女), named "大娘" &amp; "二娘"

guess


  隸利庄山


assistant [in the office] (隸), with surname "利", and name "庄山"

２ｘ: deliberate space

２ｙ: 及

２ｚ: 其

end of guess


  家眷屬緣此功德齊成正覺


if one added "及其" in front of this verse, it would become "及其家眷屬緣此功德齊成正覺", which would be interpreted as:

[the above named persons] and (及) their '其" family (家) members (眷屬), caused by (緣) this (此) merit (功德) [of donating to the buddhism texts inscription project], all together (齊) achieve (成 --> 成就) enlightenment (abhisaṃbudhya　正覺)

guess

３ｌ &amp; ３ｍ : deliberate space

end of guess


  顯慶六年二月八日造


ok, i recommend this site to exchange lunisolar &amp; gregorian calendar:

兩千年中西曆轉換, by academia sinica, taiwan

so, 顯慶六年二月八日 was 13th march 661 ad

"造" means "made"

have fun :)
