六月壬戌，公敗宋師於菅。內不言戰，舉其大者也。辛未取郜，辛巳取防。取邑不日，此其日何也？不正其乘敗人而深為利、取二邑，故謹而日之也。 |
| | On the Rixin day of the sixth month, the Duke defeated the army of Song at Jian. In internal records, battles are not mentioned; only major events are cited. On the Xinwei day they captured Gao, and on the Xinsi day they captured Fang. Capturing a walled town is usually not dated; why then are dates given here? Because it was improper to take advantage of the enemy's defeat for personal gain and capture two walled towns, this is carefully recorded with dates.

秋，宋人、衛人入鄭。宋人、蔡人、衛人伐載。鄭伯伐取之，不正其因人之力而易取之。故主其事也。 |
| | In autumn, the people of Song and Wei entered Zheng. The people of Song, Cai, and Wei attacked Zai. Duke Zheng attacked and captured it; this was not considered proper because he took advantage of others' efforts to easily seize the town. Therefore, the matter is attributed to him.
