《三国志·魏书·袁张凉国田王邴管传》
今年二月承蒙州郡颁下三年十二月辛酉日诏书，又恩赐坐乘、衣物，令别驾从事与郡中功曹按照礼节派遣臣下，又特别得到陛下诏书，任命臣为光禄勋，劳烦陛下亲自谦虚动问，原因周、秦事例，努力劝说。
奉今年二月被州郡所下三年十二月辛酉诏书，重赐安车、衣服，别驾从事与郡功曹以礼发遣，又特被玺书，以臣为光禄勋，躬秉劳谦，引喻周、秦，损上益下。
This year, in the second month, I was honoured to receive the Decree, on the day Sin-yu of the twelfth moon of the third year, conferring upon me a seat in the carriage of honour and clothing, and ordering the Lieh-kiang, who had acted as my aide-de-camp, and the Kung-ts'ao of the district, to accompany me with due ceremony; and again I received the Imperial Decree appointing me to be Grand Master of the Palace Attendants, and Your Majesty deigned to condescend to make personal enquiries, to which I replied, relying on the precedents in the times of the Chou and Ts'in, and urged my excuse.
