《陈书·本纪·卷一》
相国陈王承担了上天给他的使命，四岳降下神灵和气，陈王的品德功绩舆天地和谐，日月星辰也再一次放出光明。他力挽国势衰败的横流，把亿万百姓从灾难困苦中解救出来。在东方他诛杀了叛逆的凶徒，在北方他歼灭了獯夷丑类，他的威望笼罩四海，他的仁德广布天下，他使已经崩隳断绝的礼乐制度得到恢复和发扬，因为陈王的努力，国家的文教事业兴盛起来了，而军队机构则不再有人过问，陈王的功劳业绩一如舜和禹那样伟大，他的功业巍峨浩荡，任何语言都难以表述详确。
梁德湮微，祸乱荐发，太清云始，见困长蛇，承圣之季，又罹封豕。爰至天成，重窃神器，三光亟沈，七庙乏祀，含生已泯，鼎命斯坠，我武、元之祚，有如缀旒，静惟屯剥，夕惕载怀。相国陈王，有命自天，降神惟狱，天地合德，晷曜齐明，拯社稷之横流，提亿兆之涂炭，东诛逆叛，北歼獯丑，威加四海，仁渐万国，复张崩乐，重兴绝礼，儒馆聿修，戎亭虚候，大功在舜，盛绩惟禹，巍巍荡荡，无得而称。
