《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪四十三》
田悦忧愁恐惧，便手握佩刀，骑马立于府衙门外，将士卒百姓全部召集起来，流着眼泪说： 我本非贤能之人，承蒙淄青、成德二位老丈担保举荐，才得以继续守住伯父的基业。现在两位老丈已经去世，他们的后人不能承袭基业，我不敢忘记二位老丈的大恩，不自量力，抗拒朝命，以致丧乱败亡到这步田地，使部下将官肝脑涂地，这都是我的罪过啊。
悦忧惧，乃持佩刀，乘马立府门外，悉集军民，流涕言曰： 悦不肖，蒙淄青、成德二丈人大恩，不量其力，辄拒朝命，丧败至此，使士大夫肝脑涂地，皆悦之罪也。
Tian Yue was anxious and fearful, so he gripped his sword, stood on horseback outside the government office, and summoned all the soldiers and civilians, saying with tears: I am not a virtuous and capable man, and it was only because the two elders of Ziqing and Chengde recommended and vouched for me that I was able to continue to guard my uncle's career. Now that the two elders have passed away, and their descendants cannot inherit their careers, I dare not forget the great kindness of the two elders. I overestimated my own abilities, resisted the imperial decree, and caused the chaos and defeat to reach this stage, causing my subordinates to suffer. This is all my fault.
