少列陳岵進註《維摩經》，得濠州刺史。 Junior Attendant Chen Hu presented a commentary on the Vimalakirti Sutra and was made prefect of Hao.

寬夫與同列，因對論之，言岵因供奉僧進經以圖郡牧。 Kuanfu and his colleagues argued in audience that Hu had presented the sutra through a court monk in order to win a prefecture.

寬夫奏曰：「昨論陳岵之時，不記發言前後，唯握筆草狀，即是微臣。 Kuanfu submitted, 'When Chen Hu was discussed yesterday, I cannot recall who spoke when. I alone held the brush and drafted the memorial. That was I.
