二年，青州人隱蕃歸吳。上書曰：“臣聞紂為無道，微子先出。高祖寬明，陳平先入。臣年二十二，委棄封域，歸命有道，賴蒙天靈，得自全致。臣至北有日，而主者同之降人，未見精別，使臣徽言妙旨，不得上達。於邑三歎，曷惟其已。謹詣闕拜章，乞蒙引見。”權即召入。蕃謝答問，及陳時務，甚有辭觀。綜時侍坐，權問何如。綜對曰："蕃上書，大語有似東方朔，巧捷詭辯有似彌衡。而才皆不及。"權又問可堪何官？綜對曰："未可以治民，且試以都輦小職。"權以蕃盛論刑獄，用為廷尉監。左將軍朱據、廷尉郝普稱蕃有王佐之才，普尤與之親善，常怨歎其屈。後蕃謀叛，事覺伏誅，〈吴录曰：蕃有口才，魏明帝使诈叛如吴，令求作廷尉职，重案大臣以离间之。既为廷尉监，众人以据、普与蕃亲善，常车马云集，宾客盈堂。及至事觉，蕃亡走，捕得，考问党与，蕃无所言。吴主使将入，谓曰：“何乃以肌肉为人受毒乎？”蕃曰：“孙君，丈夫图事，岂有无伴！烈士死，不足相牵耳。”遂闭口而死。吴历曰：权问普：“卿前盛称蕃，又为之怨望朝廷，使蕃反叛，皆卿之由。”〉普見責自殺。據禁止，歷時乃解。拜綜偏將軍，兼左執法，領辭訟。遼東之事，輔吳將軍張昭以諫權言辭切至，權亦大怒，其和協彼此，使之無隙，綜有力焉。性嗜酒，酒後歡呼極意，或推引杯觴，搏擊左右。權愛其才，弗之責也。
