會遷國子博士，乃上表讓之曰：「伏見前冠軍府錄事參軍河東裴子野，年四十，字幾原，幼稟至人之行，長厲國士之風。 When he was appointed Erudite of the Imperial Academy, he submitted a memorial yielding the post to another, saying: "I have observed the former recorder of the Champion General's headquarters, Pei Ziye of Hedong, age forty, styled Jiyuan, who from youth embodied the conduct of a sage and in maturity cultivated the bearing of a true gentleman of the state.
普通七年，王師北伐，敕子野爲喻魏文，受詔立成，高祖以其事體大，召尚書僕射徐勉、太子詹事周捨、鴻臚卿劉之遴、中書侍郎朱异，集壽光殿以觀之，時並嘆服。 In the seventh year of Putong, the imperial army marched north, and Ziye was ordered to compose a letter admonishing Wei. He received the edict and finished it at once. Because the matter was weighty, Emperor Wu summoned Vice Director of the Secretariat Xu Mian, Supervisor of the Heir Apparent Zhou She, Minister of Ceremonies Liu Zhilin, and Vice Director of the Secretariat Zhu Yi to gather in the Shouguang Hall to read it; all marveled at it.
子野少時，《集注喪服》、《續裴氏家傳》各二卷，抄合後漢事四十餘卷，又敕撰《衆僧傳》二十卷，《百官九品》二卷，《附益諡法》一卷，《方國使圖》一卷，文集二十卷，並行於世。 In his youth Ziye wrote the Collected Commentary on Mourning Garments and the Continuation of the Pei Family Genealogy, each in two juan, and copied and compiled more than forty juan of Later Han affairs. By edict he also composed the Biographies of the Many Monks in twenty juan, the Nine Ranks of the Hundred Officials in two juan, Supplementary Methods of Posthumous Titles in one juan, the Atlas of Envoys from the Border States in one juan, and a collection of writings in twenty juan — all of which circulated in his day.
