《南齐书·列传·卷四十七》
东昏侯丧失了做皇帝应有的德性，于是江柘便想拥立江夏王萧宝玄为帝，后来又反悔，与弟弟江祀一道秘密对谢跳说： 江夏王年轻，性格轻浮，难以担负起继承祖宗帝业的重任，不可拥立他为帝。
东昏失德，江祏欲立江夏王宝玄，末更回惑，与弟祀密谓朓曰： 江夏年少轻脱，不堪负荷神器，不可复行废立。
Emperor Dong Hun lost the virtue of being an emperor. Jiang He wanted to enthrone Xiao Baoxuan, the King of Jiangxia as the emperor. Later, he repented and secretly said to Xie Tiao with his younger brother Jiang Si: The King of Jiangxia is young and frivolous, and he is not qualified to succeed the throne. We cannot make him the emperor.
