《梁书·列传·卷三十四》
张缅为政施用恩惠，不因为有怀疑而反复调查，官吏百姓被他的德行感化，也不敢有欺诈，故老都说： 数十年没有这样的人。 
缅为政任恩惠，不设钩距，吏人化其德，亦不敢欺，故老咸云 数十年未之有也 。
Zhang Mian governed with kindness and did not continually investigate suspicions. Officials and commoners were moved by his virtues and did not dare to deceive him. The old men in the area said, “We have not had someone like this in decades.”
