恭仁弟綝，性和厚，頗有文學。 Gongren's younger brother Shen was mild and generous by nature and had some literary talent.

遼東之役，帝令綝於臨海頓別有所督。 During the Liaodong campaign the emperor assigned Shen separate supervisory duties at Linhaidun.

楊玄感之反也，玄感弟玄縱自帝所逃赴其兄，路逢綝。 When Yang Xuangan rebelled, Xuangan's brother Xuanzong fled the imperial camp to join him and met Shen on the road.

綝避人偶語久之，既別而複相就者數矣。 Shen spoke with him at length out of others' hearing, parted—and then they came together again, more than once.

時綝兄吏部侍郎恭仁將兵於外，帝以是寢之，未發其事。 Because Shen's elder brother Gongren was then commanding troops in the field, the emperor set the matter aside and took no action.

綝尤懼，發病而卒。 Shen was terrified; he fell ill and died.

綝弟續，仕至散騎侍郎。 Shen's younger brother Xu rose to become Attendant Cavalier.
