《魏书·列传·卷八十五》
桓玄骄逸荒纵，不顾时事，奏案积压，全不览阅；有时过问小事，代替史官亲手注记，代替令史自撰文书，随意变动制度，主管的官员应接不暇。
玄骄逸荒纵，不恤时事，奏案停积，了不省览；或亲细事，手注直官，自用令史，制度乱出，主司奉签不暇。
Huan Xuan was arrogant, dissolute, and reckless. He paid no attention to current affairs, ignored a pile of documents on his desk, occasionally looked into minor matters, wrote entries in the imperial records, and drafted official documents himself. He altered the official system as he pleased, causing great trouble for his officials.
