袁盎自其為吳相時，（嘗）有從史嘗盜愛盎侍兒，盎知之，弗泄，遇之如故。 When Yuan Ang had served as Chancellor of Wu, one of his attendant clerks had secretly carried on with a maidservant Ang favored. Ang knew of it but said nothing, treating the man just as before.

人有告從史，言「君知爾與侍者通」，乃亡歸。 Someone told the clerk, 'Your lord knows you have been carrying on with his maid.' The clerk fled and went home.

袁盎驅自追之，遂以侍者賜之，復為從史。 Yuan Ang rode after him, gave him the maidservant, and reinstated him as an attendant clerk.

司馬曰：「臣故為從史盜君侍兒者。」 The Commander replied, 'I am the former attendant clerk who carried on with your maidservant.'
