《隋书·帝纪·卷三》
今年前来京师汇集的老人，可在京师附近的郡里安置，年龄在七十岁以上，身患重病，不能任职的，就赐给布帛，送回本郡；那些官位达到七品以上的，由官府酌量供给粮食，以终其天年。 
今岁耆老赴集者，可于近郡处置。年七十以上，疾患沉滞，不堪居职，即给赐帛，送还本郡。其官至七品已上者，量给廪，以终厥身。 
The elderly who came to the capital this year can be settled in the nearby counties. Those who are over 70, seriously ill, and unable to serve should be given cloth and sent back to their original counties. Those who hold positions above the seventh rank should be provided with food by the government until the end of their lives.
