雖漢誅祿、產，舉朝寔賴絳侯，晉討約、峻，中外一資陶牧，比事論功，彼奚足筭。 When Han executed Lü Lu and Lü Chan, the whole court relied on the Marquis of Jiang; when Jin campaigned against Zu Yue and Su Jun, court and provinces alike relied on Tao Kan. Set beside your deeds, what are those worth reckoning?

跡其所由，實因故司空亮居元舅之尊，勢業之重，執政裁下，輕侮邊將，故令蘇峻、祖約不勝其忿，遂致敗國。 The root cause was the late Minister of Works Yu Liang: as chief maternal uncle he wielded overwhelming power, judged subordinates harshly, and insulted frontier generals until Su Jun and Zu Yue, unable to bear their rage, ruined the state.
