陽陵侯傅寬，以魏五大夫騎將從，為舍人，起橫陽。 The Marquis of Yangling, Fu Kuan, had held the Wei rank of Fifth-Rank Grandee and served as a cavalry general. He joined as a retainer, first rising at Hengyang.

從攻安陽、杠裏，擊趙賁軍於開封，及擊楊熊曲遇、陽武，斬首十二級，賜爵卿。 Fu Kuan took part in the attacks on Anyang and Gangli, engaged Zhao Ben's army at Kaifeng, and fought Yang Xiong at Quyu and Yangwu. He took twelve heads and was granted the rank of Minister.

沛公立為漢王，漢王賜寬封號共德君。 When the Lord of Pei was made King of Han, the king bestowed upon Fu Kuan the title Lord of Shared Virtue.

從擊項籍，待懷，賜爵通德侯。 In the campaign against Xiang Ji, he was stationed at Huai and granted the title Marquis of Tongde.

因定齊地，剖符世世勿絕，封為陽陵侯，二千六百戶，除前所食。 For his role in pacifying the territory of Qi, he received a bronze tally guaranteeing his line in perpetuity and was enfeoffed as Marquis of Yangling with two thousand six hundred households, superseding all previous fiefs.

孝惠五年卒，謚為景侯。 He died in the fifth year of Emperor Xiaohui's reign and was posthumously titled Marquis Jing.

太史公曰：陽陵侯傅寬、信武侯靳歙皆高爵，從高祖起山東，攻項籍，誅殺名將，破軍降城以十數，未嘗困辱，此亦天授也。 The Grand Historian says: The Marquis of Yangling, Fu Kuan, and the Marquis of Xinwu, Jin Xi, both held high noble ranks. They followed Gaozu in rising from Shandong, attacked Xiang Ji, executed famous generals, broke armies, and induced the surrender of cities numbering in the tens, and never experienced distress or humiliation. This too was heaven's bestowal.
