:　　案遐啓彈新除諮議參驃騎大將軍軍事沈憲、太子庶子沈曠幷弟息，敕付建康，而憲被使，曠受假，俱無歸罪事狀。 According to Xia's impeachment of the newly appointed Advisory Counselor and staff officer on the Grand General of Rapid Cavalry's military affairs Shen Xian, the Crown Prince's Household Companion Shen Kuang, and their younger brothers and sons: an edict referred the case to Jiankang, yet Xian was on assignment and Kuang was on leave—neither had circumstances warranting conviction.

凡茲十彈，差是憲、曠之比，悉無及中丞之議。 Of these ten impeachments altogether, they are roughly comparable to the cases of Xian and Kuang; none included proceedings reaching the Imperial Censor.
