五年。月氏國優婆塞支謙來雒陽。謙受業於支亮。亮受業於支讖。世稱天下博知無出三支。謙細長黑瘦眼白睛黃。時人語曰。支郎眼中黃。形軀雖細是智囊。後避地歸吳。拜為博士○西天沙門維祇難。同竺律炎來吳。譯經五部。

In the fifth year, the Yuezhi upāsaka Zhi Qian came to Luoyang. Qian had received instruction from Zhi Liang, and Liang had received instruction from Lokakṣema (Zhi Chen). People of the time said that for broad learning under heaven, none surpassed the Three Zhis. Qian was tall, slender, dark, and lean, with yellow pupils in his eyes. People of the time had a saying: 'Master Zhi has yellow in his eyes; though his frame is slender, he is a bag of wisdom.' Later, avoiding trouble, he retreated to Wu, where he was appointed an Erudite (boshi).
Also, the Western Indian monk Vighna came to Wu together with Zhu Luyan and translated five scriptures.
