《史记·三十世家·田敬仲完世家》
晋国加紧追击他们，范氏和中行氏向齐国请求借粮，田乞想作乱，要在诸侯中结党，于是对齐景公说： 范氏和中行氏多次对齐国施加恩德，齐国不能不救他们。 
晋攻之急，范、中行请粟于齐。田乞欲为乱，树党于诸侯，乃说景公曰： 范、中行数有德于齐，齐不可不救。 
Jin state pursued them, Fan and Zhongxing Family asked for food from Qi state, Tian Qi wanted to cause a rebellion, and wanted to form a party in the fiefdoms, thus telling Qi Jinggong: Fan and Zhongxing Families have been gracious to Qi state, Qi state cannot refrain from saving them.
