立十一年，孝景三年，吳楚反，膠東、膠西、菑川、濟南王皆發兵應吳楚。 Eleven years into his reign came the third year of Emperor Jing, when Wu and Chu rose in revolt. The kings of Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Zichuan, and Jinan all mobilized in their support.

而膠東、膠西、濟南、菑川王皆伏誅，國除。 The kings of Jiaodong, Jiaoxi, Jinan, and Zichuan were executed to a man and their kingdoms struck from the rolls.

濟北王志，吳楚反時初亦與通謀，後堅守不發兵，故得不誅，徙王菑川。 Liu Zhi of Jibei had toyed with the rebels at first but never marched; spared execution, he was transferred to the throne of Zichuan.

悼惠王後唯有二國：城陽、菑川。 Of Prince Daohui's line only Chengyang and Zichuan remained.

菑川地比齊，武帝為悼惠王冢園在齊，乃割臨菑東圜悼惠王冢園邑盡以予菑川，令奉祭祀。 Because Prince Daohui's mausoleum park lay east of Linzi inside old Qi territory, Emperor Wu carved that enclave out and annexed it to Zichuan so his descendant could tend the sacrifices.
