慎名曰：「奉詔不敢稽死，但寡姊垂白，作數行書與別。」 Shenming said, "We dare not delay our deaths under the edict, but our widowed elder sister is white-haired — permit us a few lines to bid her farewell."

慎矜兄弟友愛，事姊如母，儀幹皆秀偉，愛賓客，標置不凡，著稱於時。 The brothers were devoted to one another and treated their elder sister as a mother. All were tall and striking in appearance, loved to entertain guests, and carried themselves with uncommon distinction — they were celebrated figures of their age.
