翥弟祕，权以姊陈氏女妻之，调湘乡令。 His younger brother Pan Mi was given a wife from the Chen family on Sun Quan's sister's side and was posted magistrate of Xiangxiang.

祕过辞於温，问曰：「先君昔曰君侯当为州里议主，今果如其言，不审州里谁当复相代者？」 Pan Mi called on Xi Wen to bid farewell and asked, "My father once predicted you would become the province's chief arbiter, and he was right—who do you think should succeed you in that role?"

后祕为尚书僕射，代温为公平，甚得州里之誉。〉 Pan Mi later rose to vice director of the secretariat, succeeded Xi Wen as impartial selector, and won wide acclaim across the province.
