《南史·列传·卷二十七》
在这以前吴郡频频地出现太守丧亡，说是项羽神做了卞山王，住在郡中处理政事，二千石官员常常避开他。
先是吴兴频丧太守，言项羽神爲卞山王，居郡听事，二千石常避之。
Before this there had often been deaths of Prefects of Wu commandery. It was said that the spirit of Xiang Yu had made himself King of Bianshan, living in the commandery and taking charge of affairs, and officials of the second-thousand-stone class often avoided him.
