有百姓乙普明兄弟爭田，積年不斷，各相援引，乃至百人。 Commoners Yi Puming and his brothers disputed fields for years without settlement, each side citing supporters until the case involved nearly a hundred people.

瓊召普明兄弟對衆人諭之曰：「天下難得者兄弟，易求者田地，假令得地失兄弟心如何？」 Qiong summoned the brothers before the crowd and said, "Brothers are what the world can scarcely obtain; fields are easy to find—if you gain land but lose your brothers' hearts, what then?"

普明弟兄叩頭乞外更思，分異十年，遂還同住。 The brothers kowtowed and begged to withdraw and reconsider; separated ten years, they then returned to live together.
