《渊骞卷第十一 - Yuan and Qian》 | English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] | Library Resources |
| 10 | 渊骞卷第... : | 或问：“蒙恬忠而被诛，忠奚可为也？”曰：“堑山堙谷，起临洮，击辽水，力不足而死有馀，忠不足相也。” |
| Yuan and Qian: |
Someone asked: Meng Tian was loyal to the Qin and yet he was executed. What good is loyalty? Yangzi said: In building the Great Wall, he dug trenches through the mountains and dammed up gorges, beginning from Lin Tao and reaching Liao Shui. His accomplishments were not sufficient and the number of corpses was excessive. His loyalty is not worth admiring. |
