故齊別郡盡以王悼惠王子：子志為濟北王，子辟光為濟南王，子賢為菑川王，子卬為膠西王，子雄渠為膠東王，與城陽、齊凡七王。 All the former commanderies that had been separated from Qi were used to establish sons of King Daohui as kings: Zhi as King of Jibei, Pi Guang as King of Jinan, Xian as King of Zichuan, Ang as King of Jiaoxi, and Xiong Qu as King of Jiaodong. Together with the King of Chengyang and the King of Qi, they numbered seven kings in all.
