《后汉书·列传·孝明八王列传》
七年，皇上认为广平在北边，多有边费，于是改为西平王，分汝南八县为封地。等到皇帝死后，遗诏改封为陈王，食淮阳郡，那年往封地去。立三十七年死去。
是时，诸国无复租禄，而数见虏夺，并日而食，转死沟壑者甚众，夫人姬妾多为丹陵兵乌桓所略云。
In the seventh year, the emperor believed Guangping was in the north and had many border expenses, so he changed it to King of Xiping and divided eight counties of Runan as his fiefdom. After the emperor died, an imperial edict granted him the title of King of Chen to govern Huaiyang Commandery and he went to his fiefdom in that year. He died in the thirty-seventh year of his reign.
