《礼记·文王世子》
案件判决之后，有关官吏向国君请示，如果所犯是死罪，就说： 族人某某所犯之罪属于大辟。 如果所犯是刑罪，就说： 族人某某所犯之罪属于小辟。 
狱成，有司谳于公。其死罪，则曰 某之罪在大辟 ；其刑罪，则曰 某之罪在小辟 。
After the verdict is reached, the officials will ask the king for his instructions. If the crime committed is punishable by death, they will say: “The crime committed by the clansman, so-and-so, is a serious crime.” If the crime committed is punishable by mutilation, they will say: “The crime committed by the clansman, so-and-so, is a minor crime.”
