《陈书·列传·卷二十一》
而且我与你虽然按礼仪是君臣有别，但情分非比寻常，评判人推举人的事，我深望能托付给你，你也就不要感到惭愧而要明智些。 
且我与卿虽君臣礼隔，情分殊常，藻镜人伦，良所期寄，亦以无惭则悊也。 
“Moreover, although we are separated by the etiquette of君臣, our relationship is extraordinary. I hope to entrust you with the task of evaluating and recommending people, so do not feel ashamed and act wisely.”
