祖洵，宋征虜將軍、吳郡太守，父顗，冠軍將軍、雍州刺史，泰始初，舉兵奉晉安王子勛，事敗誅死。 His grandfather Xun had been a General Who Pacifies the Barbarians and Administrator of Wu under the Song; his father Yi was a General Who Conquers Champions and Inspector of Yong. Early in the Taishi reign, Yi took up arms for Prince Zixun of Jin'an; the cause failed, and he was put to death.

初，顗敗，傳首京師，藏於武庫，至是始還之。 When his father had been defeated, Yi's head had been sent to the capital and kept in the armory; only now was it restored to the family.
