及拜驃騎，集會子弟，謂思遠兄思微曰：「隆昌之末，阿戎勸吾自裁，若從其語，豈有今日。」 When Yan was appointed Rapid Cavalry Commander he gathered his kin and said to Siyuan's elder brother Siwei, "At the end of Longchang, your brother urged me to take my own life; had I listened, would I be here today?"

思微，永元中爲江州長史，爲陳伯之所殺。 Siwei served as Chief Clerk of Jiang Province during Yongyuan and was killed by Chen Bozhi.
