本道采訪使韋涉深器之，奏充支使，與同幕判官員錫齊名。 The circuit visiting commissioner Wei She valued him highly and memorialized for him to serve as requisition officer; he won equal renown with his fellow staff judge Yuan Xi.

元甫精於簡牘，錫詳於訊覆，涉推誠待之，時謂「員推韋狀。」 Yuanfu excelled at drafting documents and Xi at interrogation; She trusted both openly, and contemporaries called them "Yuan pushes the case, Wei writes the brief."
