武平中以子士素久典機密，重贈儀同三司，諡曰貞惠。 In the Wuping era, because his son Shisu had long handled state secrets, he was again posthumously made Pillar of State with the posthumous name Upright and Gracious.

遊道每戒其子士素、士約、士慎等曰：「吾執法太剛，數遭屯蹇，性自如此，子孫不足以師之。」 Youdao often warned his sons Shisu, Shiyue, Shishen, and the rest: "I enforced the law too harshly and met setback after setback—that is my nature; my descendants should not take me as their model."

士素沈密少言，有才識。 Shisu was reserved and sparing of speech, with talent and discernment.

珽奏以士素為東郡守，中書侍郎李德林白珽留之，由是還除黃門侍郎，共參機密。 Ting memorialized to make Shisu administrator of Dong commandery; secretariat attendant Li Delin urged Ting to keep him, so he was recalled and made yellow gate attendant, again in confidential work.
