중성리비는 뺏은 것을 되돌려주라고 판정한 내용이다. 그런데 문장을 이해하기 어렵고, 목적어가 생략되어 있다. 그래서 뺏었다 돌려준 대상물이 무엇이었는지 여러 추정만 나왔다. 나는 고려시대의 收租地 분쟁을 참고하여 중성리비를 분석하였다. 뺏고 되돌려준 주체와 대상을 검토한 결과, 신라 왕경에 거주하는 2명의 권력자가 村落 共有地와 개인 收租地를 뺏은 것이었다. 촌락 공유지는 중성리비가 세워진 부근에 있었다. 수조지를 뺏긴 사람도 왕경인이었으나 더 강한 권력과 위세를 지닌 자에게 뺏겼다가 돌려받았다. 토지 소유권 분쟁이었다면 당사자에게 판정 결과를 통고하면 된다. 그러나 이 분쟁은 수조권과 共有地를 두고 벌인 것이었다. 그래서 그 지역의 행정과 조세 실무자들이 판정 결과를 통고받는 명단에 포함되었다.


The content of Jungseong-ri stele is a judgement to return something which was taken from the owner. There were many assumptions about the object, since the writing style of the judgment is difficult to understand, and the object in the sentence is omitted. I analyzed the Jungseong-ri stele using the records about the dispute over the land for tax collecting, which was given by the government of Koryo Dynasty. By examining the subject and object of this dispossession, I found out that two aristocrats of the Silla capital took the common of a village and deprived a man of his land for tax collecting. The common of the village was near the place where Jungseong-ri stele was erected. The former owner of the land was also a aristocrat of the Silla capital, but he was deprived of his land by the aristocrat with higher authority and greater power, and then got his land back. Usually, a dispute over land ownership only requires notice to the parties involved. However, since matter in this dispute was the right to reap land tax and common in the village, the tax officer of that region was also informed of the result.
