《汉书·传·西南夷两粤朝鲜传》
又给汉文帝写信说： 蛮夷大长、老夫臣佗昧死再拜上书皇帝陛下：我是过去粤地的官吏，高皇帝幸而赐给我玺印，策立我为南粤王，使我做为国外之臣，按时贡纳尽职。
因为书称： 蛮夷大长老夫臣佗昧死再拜上书皇帝陛下：老夫故粤吏也，高皇帝幸赐臣佗玺，以为南粤王，使为外臣，时内贡职。
And wrote to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and said: "The great chieftain of the barbarians, the old minister Tuo bows down and submits a letter to His Majesty the Emperor: I am a former official of the ancient Yue area. Emperor Gao fortunately gave me a seal and conferred me as the King of Southern Yue, and let me serve as a foreign minister to offer timely tributes.
