湛負其志氣，常慕汲黯、崔琰為人，故名長子曰黯字長孺，第二子曰琰字季珪。 Proud of his own spirit, Zhan often admired the examples of Ji An and Cui Yan; he therefore named his eldest son An, courtesy name Changru, and his second son Yan, courtesy name Jigui.

琰於江陵病卒，湛求自送喪還都，義恭亦為之陳請。 When Yan died of illness at Jiangling, Zhan asked permission to escort the coffin back to the capital himself, and Yigong also petitioned on his behalf.
