《宋书·列传·卷一百》
恰遇刘邵和刘浚逼迫京城人送老弱家人到首都，沈璞性格孝顺，不久听说父老会被幽禁，便哭得非常厉害，病情更加沉重，不能远迎，世祖的义军到界首，方才投诚，当年，琅笽颜竣想和沈璞交朋友，沈璞冷淡地拒绝了，颜竣便怀恨在心，到世祖将到京城时，又有人进谗言说沈璞奉迎太晚，沈璞便被冤杀，时年三十八岁。
会二凶逼令送老弱还都，璞性笃孝，寻闻尊老应幽执，辄哽咽不自胜，疾遂增笃，不堪远迎，世祖义军至界首，方得致身。先是，琅邪颜竣欲与璞交，不酬其意，竣以致恨。及世祖将至都，方有谗说以璞奉迎之晚，横罹世难，时年三十八。
It happened that Liu Shao and Liu Jun forced the people in the capital to send weak family members to the capital. Shen Pu was filial by nature and cried very hard when he heard that his father and elders were going to be confined. His illness became more serious and he could not come to meet them. When the義軍 of the Shizu came to Jieshou, he surrendered. In the same year, Yan Jun of Langya wanted to make friends with Shen Pu, but Shen Pu coldly refused. Yan Jun hated him and slandered him when Shizu was about to enter the capital. Shen Pu was therefore wronged and killed, at the age of thirty-eight.
