| | 辞郡辟让... : |
申屠蟠禀气玄妙，性敏心通。丧亲尽礼，几于毁灭。至行美谊，人所鲜能。安贫乐潜，味道守真。不为燥湿轻重，不为穷达易节。方之于邕。以齿则长，以德则贤。 |
| | Shentu Pan was endowed with a mysterious and profound nature, his mind sensitive and perceptive. He observed the rites of mourning to the fullest extent, nearly destroying himself in grief. His exemplary conduct and noble virtues were rare among people. He was content with poverty and happy in obscurity, savoring the Way and preserving his authenticity. He did not change his principles because of favorable or adverse conditions, nor did he alter his integrity in times of hardship or prosperity. Compared to Yong. In terms of age, he was senior; in terms of virtue, he was exemplary.
