初，尒朱兆之入洛，官守奔散，國史典書高法顯密埋史書，故不遺落。 When Erzhu Zhao first entered Luoyang, officials fled in disorder; state historian and keeper of the canon Gao Faxian secretly buried the historical records, so nothing was lost.

偉挾附世隆，遂封東阿縣伯，而法顯止獲男爵。 Wei relied on Shilong's patronage and was enfeoffed Baron of Dong'e, while Faxian received only a baron's rank.
