《新唐书·列传·卷一百四十七》
蛮人原本缺少心计，不会乘机会急速进军，只是临时性的结合，倾心于掳掠的小利，每到一处都停留驻扎，所以蜀地人民得从容扶老携幼避入成都。
蛮本无谋，不能乘机会鼓行亟驱，但蚍结蝇营，忸卤剽小利，处处留屯，故蜀孺老得扶携悉入成都。
The barbarians were unsophisticated and not bent on rapid advance, merely temporarily uniting and intent on small profits from plundering, so they stopped and camped at each place; the people of Shu were able leisurely to help their old and young escape to Chengdu.
