苟金龍妻劉氏，平原人也。 Lady Liu, consort of Gou Jinlong, was a native of Pingyuan.

世宗時，金龍為梓潼太守，郡帶關城戍主。 During Emperor Shizong's reign, Jinlong served as Administrator of Zitong and commander of the garrison at Guancheng.

[9]蕭衍遣眾攻圍，值金龍疾病，不堪部分，眾甚危懼。 [9] Xiao Yan sent troops to besiege the city; Jinlong fell ill and could not command—the garrison was gripped with fear.

金龍為梓潼太守郡帶關城戍主張森楷云：「『郡』字衍。」 "Jinlong was Administrator of Zitong, commander of the garrison at Guancheng": Zhang Senkai notes: "The character for 'commandery' is superfluous."

按北史卷九一此傳首稱「梓潼太守苟金龍妻劉氏」，下云「金龍為郡，帶關城戍主」。 Note: juan 91 of the History of the Northern Dynasties opens this biography with "Lady Liu, consort of Gou Jinlong, Administrator of Zitong," and below reads "Jinlong held office in the commandery as garrison commander at Guancheng."

「為郡」即「為太守」。 "Held the commandery" means "served as administrator."

這裏恐本同北史，首稱「梓潼太守苟金龍妻」，「梓潼太守」四字錯簡在此，或後人移易，忘刪「郡」字。 The original text likely agreed with the Northern History, opening with "consort of Gou Jinlong, Administrator of Zitong"; the four characters "Administrator of Zitong" were probably misplaced here, or a later editor rearranged the text and forgot to delete the superfluous "commandery."
