文信侯乃入言之於始皇曰：「昔甘茂之孫甘羅，年少耳，然名家之子孫，諸侯皆聞之。 Wenxin Hou then entered and spoke to Qin Shi Huang: 'Gan Mao's grandson Gan Luo is young indeed, yet he is the descendant of a famous family, and all the feudal lords have heard of him.

甘羅還報秦，乃封甘羅以為上卿，復以始甘茂田宅賜之。 Gan Luo returned and reported to Qin, who then enfeoffed him as upper minister and restored Gan Mao's original fields and residence to him.
