太建元年又有「新除安南將軍、開府儀同三司、湘州刺史吳明徹進號鎮南將軍」之文，本傳亦云「太建元年授鎮南將軍」，疑此衍「進號鎮南將軍」六字。 Taijian year 1 again has the passage "newly appointed general who pacifies the south, opener of the mansion equal to the three dukes, inspector of Xiangzhou Wu Mingche, promoted in title to general who garrisons the south"; his biography also says "in Taijian year 1 appointed general who garrisons the south." The six characters "promoted in title to general who garrisons the south" here are probably intrusive.

是時慮皎先發，乃前遣明徹率眾三萬，乘金翅直趨郢州，又遣撫軍大將軍淳于量率眾五萬，乘大艦以繼之，又令假節、冠武將軍楊文通別從安 Fearing Jiao would move first, they sent Mingche with thirty thousand men in Golden-Wing ships straight for Yingzhou, and pacifying-the-army grand general Chunyu Liang with fifty thousand in great ships behind him, and ordered provisional-credentials crowned-with-martiality general Yang Wentong by a separate route from An
征南將軍量、安南將軍明徹、郢州刺史靈洗，受律專征，備盡心力，撫勞驍雄，舟師俱進，義烈爭奮，凶惡奔殄，獻捷相望，重氛載廓，言念泣罪，思與惟新。 Campaigning-south general Liang, pacifying-south general Mingche, and Yingzhou inspector Lingxi took the law and marched with all their strength, heartening the brave as the fleets advanced together. Valor flared, the wicked were crushed, victory reports came in waves, and the foul air cleared. In judging guilt I look to renewal.
