湛之、曄與行中領軍蕭思話、行護軍將軍臧質、行左衛將軍孔熙先、建威將軍孔休先，忠貫白日，誠著幽顯，義痛其心，事傷其目，投命奮戈，萬殞莫顧，即日斬伯符首，及其黨與。 Zhanzhi, Ye, Acting General of the Center Army Xiao Sihua, Acting General Who Protects the Army Zang Zhi, Acting General of the Left Guard Kong Xixian, and General Who Establishes Might Kong Xiuxian, Xixian's younger brother—loyalty shining like the sun, sincerity manifest in hidden and open realms—were pained in heart and wounded in spirit; they risked their lives and brandished weapons, heedless of ten thousand deaths, and on that day cut off Bofu's head and his faction.
二十二年九月，征北將軍衡陽王義季、右將軍南平王鑠出鎮，上於武帳岡祖道，曄等期以其日為亂，而差互不得發。 In the ninth month of the twenty-second year, the Northern Expedition General, Prince of Hengyang Yiji, and the Right General, Prince of Nanping Shuo, departed to take up their provincial commands. The Emperor held a farewell ceremony for them at Wuzhang Mound. Ye and his co-conspirators had planned to launch their rebellion on that day, but mishaps prevented them from acting.
