帝諭真金太子曰。伯顏文武全才。汝勿以常人遇也　許衡臨終語其子曰。我平生為虛名所累。不能辭官。是年卒。諡文正。

The Emperor instructed Crown Prince Zhenjin, saying: 'Bayan is fully gifted in both civil and military arts. You must not treat him as an ordinary person.' When Xu Heng was on the verge of death, he told his son, 'Throughout my life I have been burdened by empty fame and could not resign from officialdom.' He died in this year and was posthumously named Wenzheng.
