是梁大同十一年,東魏武定三年也。《梁書》云:「安原以大淸二年卒,以其子為寧東將軍高句麗王樂浪公。」誤也。
This was the eleventh year of Datong of Liang and the third year of Wuding of Eastern Wei. The Liang shu says, "Anwon died in the second year of Daqing, and his son was made General Who Quiets the East, King of Goguryeo, and Duke of Lelang." That is wrong.
