《汉书·传·王莽传下》
只有翼平郡连率田况一向果断勇敢，他发动年龄在十八岁以上的民众四万多人，发给他们库存的武器，把军事法令刻在石上向他们宣布。
唯翼平连率田况素果敢，发民年十八以上四万余人，授以库兵，与刻石为约。
The only exception was T'ien K'uang, the military commandant of the district of I-p'ing chün, who was always brave and decisive. He mobilized more than forty thousand men from among the people above the age of eighteen, armed them with stockpiled weapons, and drew up military laws, which he had inscribed on stone and made known to them.
