《晋书·志·第二十章》
而且律法决断罪行，都应当用法律指令正文，如果没有正文，就依靠名例来决断，正文名例没有涉及的，都不论处。
又律法断罪，皆当以法律令正文，若无正文，依附名例断之，其正文名例所不及，皆勿论。
Moreover, the law should adjudicate crimes based on the main text of the legal code; if there is no main text, then rely on nominal examples to adjudicate; those not covered by the main text or nominal examples should not be adjudicated.
