《后汉书·列传·杨李翟应霍爰徐列传》
霍谞当时十五岁，写报告给梁商道： 将军恩德如天，同情舅父宋光的冤结，前些时温教许可替他平议，虽然没有下吏断决其事，已蒙神明顾省之听。
谞时年十五，奏记于商曰：将军天覆厚恩，愍舅光冤结，前者温教许为平议，虽未下吏断决其事，已蒙神明顾省之听。
Huo Xu was fifteen years old at the time. He wrote a report to Liang Shang, saying: The general's kindness is like the sky. He sympathizes with his uncle Song Guang's injustice. Some time ago, Wen Jiao permitted him to discuss it for him, although he did not send the official to decide the matter. It has been heard by God.
