丁丑，右散騎常侍康澄責授環州別駕，左司郎中史又元責授商州長史，左驍衛大將軍元霸責授均州別駕，右驍衛將軍林延禔責授登州長史。 On dingchou Kang Cheng (right regular attendant) was demoted to Huanzhou vice prefect; Shi Youyuan (left bureau director) to Shangzhou senior recorder; Yuan Ba (left Brave Guards general) to Junzhou vice prefect; and Lin Yanti (right Brave Guards general) to Dengzhou senior recorder.

澄等奉使浙中，回日以私便停留，逾時復命，故有是責。 Cheng and his colleagues, returning from a mission to Zhe, had delayed for private reasons and reported late; hence the demotions.
