《晋书·帝纪·第三章》
今令刺史二千石纠察那些秽浊者，推举那些清廉公正者，报有司议定他们的升降赏罚，令内外群官推举提拔出身寒微而又清廉有才能的人。 
其敕刺史二千石纠其秽浊，举其公清，有司议其黜陟。令内外群官举清能，拔寒素。 
Today, the provincial governor and the two thousand stone officials are ordered to investigate and punish those who are filthy and corrupt, and to nominate those who are honest and impartial, and to report to the relevant authorities for deliberation on their promotion, demotion, reward, and punishment, ordering all officials inside and outside to nominate and promote those who are of humble origin but honest and capable.
