:　　《穀梁》太元舊有麋信注，顏益以范寧，麋猶如故。 For the Guliang, in the Taiyuan era there was Mi Xin's commentary; Yan Yanzhi added Fan Ning's commentary, while Mi's remained as before.

顏論閏分范注，當以同我者親。 Yan discussed intercalary months and divided Fan's commentary; one ought to favor those who agree with oneself.

必謂范善，便當除麋。 If one insists Fan is superior, then Mi should be removed.

賈氏注《經》，世所罕習，《穀梁》小書，無俟兩注，存麋略范，率由舊式。 Jia Kui's commentary on the Classic is rarely studied today. The Guliang is a minor text and needs no dual commentary; keep Mi and set Fan aside—follow the established pattern.
