以竟陵王子良得古器，小口方腹而底平，可將七八升，以問澄，澄曰：「北名服匿，單于以與蘇武。」 When the Prince of Jingling, Xiao Ziliang, obtained an ancient vessel with a small mouth, square belly, and flat base that held about seven or eight sheng, he asked Cheng about it. Cheng said: "In the north it is called funu; the chanyu gave it to Su Wu."
