Energy spectra of accelerated protons at flare sites are derived by comparing the observed ratios of the 4.44 MeV gamma-ray line fluence to the 2.22 MeV gamma-ray line fluence with the calculated ratios. The proton spectra derived for the Apr. 1, 1981, May 13, 1981, Oct. 15, 1981, and June 6, 1982, disk flares do not much vary from flare to flare, and are in agreement with average proton spectra observed in interplanetary space within the errors. It implies that both the protons which produce gamma-ray lines at the sun and those which escape from the sun are probably accelerated by the same mechanism.
