〔一〕自錢塘直趣吳郡按通鑑梁敬帝紹泰元年胡注云：「按陳霸先自義興還建康，遣裴忌助黃他攻吳郡，自錢塘直趣吳郡，非路也。『錢塘』必誤。」 Note 1, on "went straight from Qiantang toward Wu commandery": Hu Sanxing notes in the Comprehensive Mirror that Chen Baxian returned from Yixing to Jiankang and sent Pei Ji to help Huang Ta attack Wu commandery; a route straight from Qiantang to Wu commandery makes no sense, so Qiantang must be an error.
