    寶鼎元年正月,遣大鴻臚張儼、五官中郎將丁忠弔祭晉文帝。及還,儼道病死。〈《吳錄》曰:儼字子節,吳人也。弱冠知名,歷顯位,以博聞多識,拜大鴻臚。使于晉,皓謂儼曰:「今南北通好,以君爲有出境之才,故相屈行。」對曰:「皇皇者華,蒙其榮耀,無古人延譽之美,磨厲鋒鍔,思不辱命。」旣至,車騎將軍賈充、尚書令裴秀、侍中荀勗等欲傲以所不知而不能屈。尚書僕射羊祜、尚書何楨並結縞帶之好。〉忠說皓曰:「北方守戰之具不設,弋陽可襲而取。」皓訪羣臣,鎮西大將軍陸凱曰:「夫兵不得已而用之耳,且三國鼎立已來,更相侵伐,無歲寧居。今彊敵新并巴蜀,有兼土之實,而遣使求親,欲息兵役,不可謂其求援於我。今敵形勢方彊,而欲徼幸求勝,未見其利也。」車騎將軍劉纂曰:「天生五才,誰能去兵?譎詐相雄,有自來矣。若其有闕,庸可棄乎?宜遣閒諜,以觀其勢。」皓陰納纂言,且以蜀新平,故不行,然遂自絕。八月,所在言得大鼎,於是改年,大赦。以陸凱爲左丞相,常侍萬彧爲右丞相。冬十月,永安山賊施但等聚衆數千人,〈《吳錄》曰:永安今武康縣也。〉劫皓庶弟永安侯謙出烏程,取孫和陵上鼓吹曲蓋。比至建業,衆萬餘人。丁固、諸葛靚逆之於牛屯,大戰,但等敗走。獲謙,謙自殺。〈《漢晉春秋》曰:初望氣者云荊州有王氣破揚州而建業宮不利,故皓徙武昌,遣使者發民掘荊州界大臣名家冢與山岡連者以厭之。旣聞但反,自以爲徙土得計也。使數百人鼓譟入建業,殺但妻子,云天子使荊州兵來破揚州賊,以厭前氣。〉分會稽爲東陽郡,分吳、丹楊爲吳興郡。〈皓詔曰:「古者分土建國,所以襃賞賢能,廣樹藩屏。秦毀五等爲三十六郡,漢室初興,闓立乃至百五,因事制宜,蓋無常數也。今吳郡陽羨、永安、餘杭、臨水及丹楊故鄣、安吉、原鄉、於潛諸縣,地勢水流之便,悉注烏程,旣宜立郡以鎮山越,且以藩衞明陵,奉承大祭,不亦可乎!其亟分此九縣爲吳興郡,治烏程。」〉以零陵北部爲邵陵郡。十二月,皓還都建業,衞將軍滕牧留鎮武昌。
