且弟曠違兄姊，迄將十載，姊時歸來，終不任輿曳入閣，兄守金城，永不堪扶抱就路，若不憊疾，非性僻而何。 Your younger brother has been away from his siblings nearly ten years; when my sister visits I cannot endure being carried in a carriage through the gate; my brother holds Jincheng and I can never bear being helped along the road—if this is not illness, what else could it be but a perverse nature?

至兄弟，尤為叨竊，臨海頻煩二郡，謙亦越進清階，吾高枕家巷，遂至中書郎，此足以闔棺矣。 As for my brothers, they have been especially presumptuous—Linhai repeatedly held two commanderies, Qian also rose beyond his station; I with high pillow in my lane reached Palace Gentleman—this is enough to close the coffin.
