湛黨劉敬文父成未悟其機，詣景仁求郡，敬文遽往謝湛曰：「老父悖耄，遂就殷鐵干祿。 Liu Cheng, father of Zhan's follower Liu Jingwen, failed to grasp the situation and went to Jingren to request a commandery appointment. Jingwen hurried to apologize to Zhan, saying, "My old father is senile and has gone to Yin Tie, that is, Yin Jingren, to seek an office for profit.

由敬文闇淺，上負生成，合門慚懼，無地自處。」 It is because Jingwen is obtuse and shallow that he has failed you who gave us life; our whole family is ashamed and afraid, with nowhere to hide our faces."

敬文之姦諂無愧如此。 Such was the shameless treachery and flattery of Jingwen.
