中山王將之部諸本無「王」字，旁注「闕」。 "When the Prince of Zhongshan was about to depart for his commandery"—several editions omit the word "prince," with a marginal note reading "lacuna."

按卷一九南安王楨附中山王熙傳云：「始熙之鎮鄴也，知友才學之士略裴敬憲等咸餞於河梁，賦詩告別。」 The Book of Wei, volume 19, biography of Prince Nan'an Zhen with the attached biography of Prince Zhongshan Xi, states: "When Xi first took up his post at Ye, men of talent and learning among his friends, including Pei Jingxian, all saw him off with a feast at River Bridge and composed farewell poems."

「中山」下脫「王」字無疑，今據補。 The omission of "prince" after "Zhongshan" is certain; the character is restored here.

冊府「鎮」字，當亦有因，疑此句本作「中山王鎮鄴，將之部」。 The Cefu's word "garrison" must have its own rationale; the original line was probably "When the Prince of Zhongshan was garrisoning Ye and about to depart for his commandery."
