《三国志·魏书·刘司马梁张温贾传》
评曰：自从汉朝建立以来，刺史们统辖着自己治下的郡县，税收政令都处于自治状态，不是像以往那样仅仅管理监督行政而已。
评曰：自汉季以来，刺史总统诸郡，赋政于外，非若曩时司察之而已。
Commentary: Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the governors have been in charge of the counties under their jurisdiction, and their tax and political orders have been self-governing, not just as in the past, merely managing and supervising the administration.
