以課最入朝，詔加散騎常侍、荊雍湘巴武五州大中正。 For outstanding administration he entered court; an edict added him as scattered-cavalry regular attendant and grand rectifier of Jing, Yong, Xiang, Ba, and Wu.

年六歲，詣梁吏部尚書河南褚翔，翔字仲舉，〔四〕嗟其穎悟。 At six he visited Liang minister of the board of civil office Chu Xiang of Henan; Xiang's style was Zhongju [4], and he marveled at the boy's quick wit.

〔四〕翔字仲舉「字仲舉」三字疑衍文。 On "Xiang's style Zhongju": the three words style Zhongju are probably superfluous.

按褚翔梁書有傳，其字為「世舉」，非「仲舉」。 Chu Xiang's Book of Liang biography gives his style as "Shiju," not "Zhongju."
