右五十四經合六十六卷。聶承遠子道真。惠帝之世始太康年迄永嘉末。其間詢稟諮承。法護筆受之外。及護沒後真遂自譯前件雜經。誠師護公真當其稱。頗善文句辭義分炳。此竝見在別錄所載。

The above fifty-four scriptures, together comprising sixty-six fascicles. Nie Daozhen, son of Nie Chengyuan, from the era of Emperor Hui, beginning in the Taikang era and extending to the end of the Yongjia era, inquired and received instruction during this interval. Besides acting as scribe for Fahu, after Fahu's demise Daozhen then personally translated the aforementioned miscellaneous scriptures. Truly having Master Fahu as his teacher, Daozhen was genuinely worthy of that reputation; he was quite skillful with literary expressions, and his terminology and sense were distinct and brilliant. These are all presently extant and recorded in the separate catalogues.
