《旧唐书·列传·卷一百三十七》
他过去的属吏有人拿酒食馈赠给他，他便说： 各位哀悯我窘迫受辱，因而送酒食来宽慰我，我应该与各位一醉方休。 
故吏有以酒食馈之者，玄通曰： 诸君哀吾困辱，故以酒食来相宽慰，吾当为诸君一醉。 
Some of his former subordinates brought him food and drinks as gifts, so he said: You pity my distress and humiliation, and thus you brought me food and drink to comfort me. I should get drunk with you.
