三年，會稽妖言章安侯奮當爲天子。臨海太守奚熙與會稽太守郭誕書，非論國政。誕但白熙書，不白妖言，送付建安作船。〈會稽邵氏〈家傳〉曰：邵疇字溫伯，時爲誕功曹。誕被收，惶遽無以自明。疇進曰：「疇今自在，疇之事，明府何憂？」遂詣吏自列，云不白妖言，事由於己，非府君罪。吏上疇辭，皓怒猶盛。疇慮誕卒不免，遂自殺以證之。臨亡，置辭曰：「疇生長邊陲，不閑教道，得以門資，厠身本郡，踰越儕類，位極朝右，不能贊揚盛化，養之以福。今妖訛橫興，干國亂紀，疇以噂𠴲之語，本非事實，雖家誦人詠，不足有慮。天下重器，而匹夫橫議，疾其醜聲，不忍聞見，欲含垢藏疾，不彰之翰筆，鎮躁歸靜，使之自息。愚心勤勤，每執斯旨，故誕屈其所是，默以見從。此之爲愆，實由於疇。謹不敢逃死，歸罪有司，唯乞天鑒，特垂清察。」吏收疇喪，得辭以聞，皓乃免誕大刑，送付建安作船。疇亡時，年四十。皓嘉疇節義，詔郡縣圖形廟堂。〉遣三郡督何植收熙，熙發兵自衞，斷絕海道。熙部曲殺熙，送首建業，夷三族。秋七月，遣使者二十五人分至州郡，科出亡叛。大司馬陸抗卒。自改年及是歲，連大疫。分鬱林爲桂林郡。
