Japanese term or phrase: 「し、をむ」

From this sentence in a document about various kinds of alcohol.

３世紀の中国の史家、〈Chenshou〉（２２３年～２９７年）がした古文書「魏志東夷伝」（ぎしとういでん）の中にの事を「し、をむ」、また喪に際し「し、他人ひてす」とあり、古い日本民族の間に酒が在り、しかも大いにそれを飲む習慣があった事を物語る。

English translation:人性酒を嗜(たしな)む。(Missing characters. Maybe encoding errors.)

Explanation:
喪主（そうしゅ）哭泣（こくきゅう）し、他人就（つひ）て歌舞飲酒（かぶいんしゅ）す。
I don't think the person tried to change it around to make it look different, but, yes, a significant number of characters are missing.

* I agree with cinefil.

日本酒の歴史
神話の時代より日本の酒の成立ちをたどると、3世紀に書かれた『魏志東夷伝』（ぎしとういでん）（魏志倭人伝）の中に＜喪主泣シ、他人就ヒテ歌舞飲酒ス＞＜父子男女別無シ、人性酒ヲ嗜ム＞といった酒に関係する記述を見つけることができます。ただしそれが米の酒なのか、また、液体かかゆ状のものか、他の穀類、果実から造られた酒なのかは不明であります。
