Notes

  1. Cao Huan's biography in the Sanguozhi recorded that Gao Rou died in the 9th month of the 4th year of the Jingyuan era of Cao Huan's reign.[1] This month corresponds to 20 October to 17 November 263 in the Gregorian calendar. Gao Rou's biography in the Sanguozhi also recorded that he was 90 years old (by East Asian age reckoning) when he died.[2] By calculation, his birth year was in 174.
