  1. ^ a b According to the Book of Jin, Xiahou Shang died in the 4th month of the 7th year of the Huangchu era of Cao Pi's reign. This corresponds to 14 May to 12 June 226 in the proleptic Gregorian calendar. ([黄初七年]四月，征南大將軍夏侯尚薨。) Jin Shu vol. 13. de Crespigny (2007, p. 884) marks his death year as 225 without any elaboration, perhaps in error.
