《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪八》
于是富贵人家放弃了住宅，贫困人家携带包裹，都纷纷逃奔他乡，城中人口还剩下不到十分之一二，守备空虚，政府各部门都空无一人。
富者弃宅，贫者襁负，率皆逃窜，什不存一二，直卫空虚，官守旷废。
Therefore, rich families abandoned their houses, and poor families took their belongings and fled to other places. Less than one-tenth of the population remained in the city, which was left undefended and the government departments were all empty.
