Twenty-eighth Day, kinoe tatsu. An extraordinary Ninnōe Assembly [was held] in order to banish plague. 

Notes

Ninnōe 仁王會: A rite or Buddhist assembly 法会 (hōe) in which one a hundred high seats are prepared for a group of monks to recite the Sutra of Benevolent Kings 仁王経. This is done in order to ward off disaster and protect the realm. The first such assembly on record was held during the reign of Saimei in 660, and the rite became more frequent during the Nara and Heian periods, eventually becoming an annual event. There were two seasonal Ninnōe held in spring and autumn. They were conducted on auspicious days in the Second or Third months, and then again in the Seventh or Eighth months. Extraordinary 臨時 (rinji) Ninnōe, like this one, were held on an ad hoc basis to ward off disaster. This rite might also be conducted once during the life of an important figure for their benefit. Other terms used for this rite include the Hundred Seat Assembly 百座会 (hyakuzae) and Offerings to the Benevolent Kings 仁王供 (ninnōgu). (日本国語大辞典)

Second Day, hinoto hitsuji. Rite Honoring Confucius and his Disciples. 

On this day, since it is a Kanoto’tori year, the era name was changed to Jian. Crimes punishable by death and lesser punishments too,  without  considering them light or heavy, were pardoned. However,  crimes—the eight great crimes, murder, plotting to murder, private casting of coinage, armed robbery and larceny—that are not pardonable were not included [in the amnesty]. Also seed was given to the elderly and to monks and nuns between the ages of seventy and hundred years.

Notes

Sekiten 釋奠: A ceremony in which images of Confucius and classical Chinese philosophers were hung in the University Bureau 大学寮 (daigakuryō) on the first hinoto day of the Second and Eighth months. If the event fell on the day of an eclipse, day of mourning, or New Years Day, then the ceremony would be held mid-month. After conducting the ritual, which consisted of a variety of offerings, participants held a banquet, scholars 博士 (hakase) posed questions, held debates, and presented poetry. This event  fell out of regular practice later during the Heian period but was revived by Fujiwara no Yorinaga in the twelfth century. It would undergo other revivals in the Muromachi and Edo periods. 

Toshi 歲: This can refer to cycles of Jupiter, as well as the length of one year. In this case, however, it refers to the cyclical year. It can also be glossed as sai or sei.（新選漢和辞典 Web版）

Taihekizai 大辟罪: Another word for the death penalty, it was also called “the extreme penalty” 極刑 (kyokkei) or “the final silence” 極黙 (kyokudan). In the Yōrō administrative code 養老令 section on prisons 獄令, this term refers to hanging and execution. It is worth noting that capital punishment was suspended during the Heian period for over 340 years. Scholarly explanations for why this was the case include: Buddhism; toleration of crime; the abolishment of the death penalty in Tang China; the avoidance of creating vengeful onryō spirits by the nobility; and the substitution of exile as a punishment. Exile sometimes functioned as a de facto death penalty. (国史大辞典)

Hachigyaku 八虐: This is a term used in the classical Japanese law codes. It classifies particularly crimes that violate the teachings of the sages into eight categories and stipulates that criminals be punished according to the severity of the crime. It was adapted from the Ten Wrongs 十悪 (jyūaku) of the Tang Penal Code 唐律. 

Informal Note: The eight categories are: treason to endanger the state 謀反; conspiring to commit high treason, particularly conspiring to destroy royal mausoleums or the palace 謀大逆; conspiring to betray the will of the state 謀叛; betraying, beating, or murdering one’s family; “Immorality” 不道, which refers to the abuse or murder of lesser members of the household?; “Great Disrespect” 大不敬, which refers to damaging shrines, theft of offerings, theft or forgery of divine objects, seal forgery, making the royal meal in the wrong manner, constructing unsafe ships, taking advantage of public sentiment to advance oneself, and using a royal edict without proper approval; “Unfilial Piety,” 不孝 such as marrying at improper times, improper mourning, and impersonating dead relatives;  “Unrighteousness” 不義, which was the murder of one’s master or governor, an official of the fifth rank or above, or the crime of a wife who hides away and remarries under the pretext of mourning a dead husband. (国史大辞典)

Kosatsu 故殺: manslaughter, or intentionally killing someone. (日本国語大辞典)

Bōsatsu 謀殺: premeditated murder. This was meant to be distinguished from manslaughter 故殺 in early Japanese penal codes. Premeditated murder was punishable by death, whereas manslaughter was punished by life imprisonment. (日本国語大辞典)

Shichūsen 私鑄錢: Privately minting coins, particularly in reference to counterfeit currency. (日本国語大辞典)

Gōsetsu 強窃: theft and robbery （角川古語大辞典）

Nitō 二盜: a theft conducted by two people （大漢和辞典）

Sha 赦: to be forgiven for a crime （日本国語大辞典）
