《后汉书·列传·李王邓来列传》
隗嚣更加恼怒，王元劝隗嚣杀死来歙。来歙为人讲信义，言行一致，以致往返游说，都可以核实，西州的士大夫都信任敬重他，许多人替他说情，所以来歙得以脱身东归至汉。
小国犹不可辱，况于万乘之主，重以伯春之命哉！ 歙为人有信义，言行不违，及往来游说，皆可案复，西州士大夫皆信重之，多为其言，故得免而东归。
Wei Xiao was even more annoyed. Wang Yuan persuaded Wei Xiao to kill Lai Xi. Lai Xi was a man of his word and his actions were consistent with his words. Even when he traveled back and forth as an envoy, everything he said could be verified. The scholars and officials of Xizhou trusted and respected him. Many people spoke on his behalf, so Lai Xi was able to escape and return to Han in the east.
