《三国志·吴书·王楼贺韦华传》
韦曜更加忧惧，自己提出年老体衰，请求辞去侍中、左国史两个官职，恳求让他完成自己要写的书，把他所承担的任务转交他人，孙皓始终不答允。
曜益忧惧，自陈衰老，求去侍、史二官，乞欲成所造书，以从业别有所付，皓终不听。
Wei Yao became increasingly anxious and, citing his advanced age and declining health, requested to resign from the positions of Deputy Minister of State and Left State Historian, and asked to be permitted to complete the books he was writing while handing over his current responsibilities to others, but Sun Hao refused.
