  1. ^ According to Sun Deng's biography in Sanguozhi, Chen Biao was made Commandant of the Central Flank when Sun Quan crowned himself emperor in 229. The other three close confidants of Sun Deng (Zhuge Ke, Gu Tan and Zhang Xiu) also received promotions at the same time. (黃龍元年，權稱尊號，登為皇太子，以[諸葛]恪為左輔，[張]休右弼，[顧]譚為輔正，[陳]表為翼正都尉，是為四友， ...) Sanguozhi vol. 59.
  2. ^ According to Sun Deng's biography in Sanguozhi, Chen Biao and others were made Zhongshuzi to the Crown Prince upon Zhang Wen's suggestion to Sun Quan. This took place in 221, while Sun Quan was still King of Wu. (魏黄初二年，以权为吴王，....。是岁，立登为太子，.....太傅张温言于权曰：“夫中庶子官最亲密，切问近对，宜用俊德。”于是乃用表等为中庶子。) Sanguozhi vol. 59.
