梁侍中護軍將軍簡子周舍。右岐嶷夙成珪璋幼發。蒸蒸色難。無勞孟武之問。謇謇敬勸。不待季康所疑。事顯閨庭。名傳邦邑。九流百氏之記。六詩五禮之文。皆博窮前古為准當世。兼以受持佛戒。迴向釋門。絕彼羶腥。甘茲蔬素。究龍宮之金牒。殫鵠林之玉旨。每以毘城勝集摩竭微言。折角解頤。獨高時彥。

Zhou She, Viscount Jian, Palace Attendant and General of the Army of the Right Guard under the Liang: as for the latter, his exceptional brilliance was formed early, his gem-like quality shone in his youth. Filial and earnest in maintaining pleasant countenance before his parents, he did not need the questioning of Meng Wu; outspoken and respectful in offering counsel, he did not await the doubts of Ji Kang. His conduct was renowned within his family, his fame spread through the state and counties. The records of the nine philosophical schools and the hundred thinkers, the texts of the Six Songs and the Five Rites—all these he extensively investigated from antiquity to set standards for the present age. In addition, he received and upheld the Buddhist precepts and dedicated his merit to the Śākya gate. Forsaking rank meat and fish, he took delight in vegetables and grains. He thoroughly plumbed the golden leaves of the Dragon Palace and exhausted the jade principles of the Crane Forest. Whenever engaged in the supreme gatherings of Vaiśālī or the subtle words of Magadha, he broke horns [in debate] and brought smiles [to all], standing preeminently above the talents of his day.
