  1. ^ a b de Crespigny (2007), p. 994.
  2. ^ While the Kuaiji Dianlu recorded that Yu Si was made Inspector of Jiao Province after the campaign against the Fuyan barbarians, Tao Huang's biography in Book of Jin recorded that Tao was made Inspector of Jiao Province after the Jiaozhi campaign. (珝、璜遂陷交阯。吴因用璜为交州刺史。) Jin Shu, vol.57. If both records are correct, then Yu Si must have died shortly after his appointment, and Tao Huang succeeded him as Inspector of Jiao Province. In addition, Emperor Wu's biography in Book of Jin indicated that Yu Si was still alive during the 4th month of the 7th year of the Tai'shi era as he was recorded to have engaged Dong Yuan (then the Administrator of Jiuzhen) in battle during that month; the month corresponds to 27 Apr to 26 May 271 in the Julian calendar.
