《宋书·列传·卷七十四》
另外沈攸之刚愎自用，残忍不道，把官吏看成仇人，把人民当成小草，榨取人民收入的大半，施行残暴的惩罚，鞭打国家的人才，全部用对待敌人的方法。一个人逃跑了，全族替代受罚，他制造的灾难祸及婴儿，遍及世人。
又攸之自任专恣，恃行惨酷，视吏若仇，遇民如草。峻太半之赋，暴参夷之刑。鞭捶国士，全用虏法；一人逃亡，阖宗补代。毒遍婴孩，虐加斑白。
In addition, Shen Youshi is arrogant and willful, cruel and merciless, treats officials as enemies, and treats the people as grass. He extorts half of the people's income, inflicts cruel punishments, flogs national talents, and treats them all as enemies. If one person escapes, the whole clan will be punished instead. The disasters he has caused have affected infants and spread to the world.
