《陈书·本纪·卷五》
那些遣存下来的夷狄愚蠢至极，毒害沦陷区百姓，江淮一带的少年，尚有抢劫偷盗之举，乡间里巷的无赖之徒，时常干出不可见人之事，将领同部下士兵，不顾刑法典章。现今废除残酷的刑法，从而使朝廷的仁慈在民间传颂。
蠢彼馀黎，毒兹异境，江淮年少，犹有剽掠，乡闾无赖，摘出阴私，将帅军人，罔顾刑典，今使苛法蠲除，仁声载路。
The savage remnants of the barbarians poisoned the people of the regions they occupied. Many of the young people of Jiang and Huai provinces committed robbery and theft, while the hooligans of the villages and lanes engaged in all manner of illicit activities. Military commanders, along with their subordinates, disregarded legal prohibitions. I now abolish these cruel and violent laws, in order that the emperor’s benevolent rule may become known throughout the realm.
