《南史·列传·卷三十三》
裴松之因为世人立有私碑，有的碑文不合事实，便上表陈奏，认为 那些想立碑的人，应该都让他们向上级申请，经朝廷讨论同意，然后进行，这样大概才能防止虚假，显扬实情 。
松之以世立私碑，有乖事实，上表陈之，以爲 诸欲立碑者，宜悉令言上，爲朝议所许，然后听之，庶可以防遏无征，显彰茂实 。
Because some of the private steles erected for ordinary people had inscriptions that did not correspond to the facts, Pei Songzhi submitted a memorial, stating that those who wish to erect steles should all submit applications to their superiors, and after the court discussed and agreed, they could do so. This method would probably prevent falsehood and promote the truth.
