胡昭始避地冀州,亦辭袁紹之命,遁還鄉里。太祖為司空丞相,頻加禮辟。昭往應命,旣至,自陳一介野生,無軍國之用,歸誠求去。太祖曰:「人各有志,出處異趣,勉卒雅尚,義不相屈。」昭乃轉居陸渾山中,躬耕樂道,以經籍自娛。閭里敬而愛之。〈《高士傳》曰:初,晉宣帝為布衣時,與昭有舊。同郡周生等謀害帝,昭聞而步陟險,邀生於崤、澠之間,止生,生不肯。昭泣與結誠,生感其義,乃止。昭因與斫棗樹共盟而別。昭雖有陰德於帝,口終不言,人莫知之。信行著於鄉黨。建安十六年,百姓聞馬超叛,避兵入山者千餘家,飢乏,漸相劫略,昭常遜辭以解之,是以寇難消息,衆咸宗焉。故其所居部落中,三百里無相侵暴者。〉建安二十三年,陸渾長張固被書調丁夫,當給漢中。百姓惡憚遠役,並懷擾擾。民孫狼等因興兵殺縣主簿,作為叛亂,縣邑殘破。固率將十餘吏卒,依昭住止,招集遺民,安復社稷。狼等遂南附關羽。羽授印給兵,還為寇賊,到陸渾南長樂亭,自相約誓,言:「胡居士賢者也,一不得犯其部落。」一川賴昭,咸無怵惕。天下安輯,徙宅宜陽。〈《高士傳》曰:幽州刺史杜恕甞過昭所居草廬之中,言事論理,辭義謙敬,恕甚重焉。太尉蔣濟辟,不就。〉正始中,驃騎將軍趙儼、尚書黃休、郭彝、散騎常侍荀顗、鍾毓、太僕庾嶷、〈案《庾氏譜》:嶷字劭然,頴川人。子䨹字玄默,晉尚書、陽翟子。嶷弟遁,字德先,太中大夫。遁胤嗣克昌,為世盛門。侍中峻、河南尹純,皆遁之子,豫州牧長史顗,遁之孫,太尉文康公亮、司空冰皆遁之曾孫,貴達至今。〉弘農太守何楨等〈《文士傳》曰:楨字元幹,廬江人,有文學器幹,容貌甚偉。歷幽州刺史、廷尉,入晉為尚書光祿大夫。楨子龕,後將軍;勗,車騎將軍;惲,豫州刺史;其餘多至大官。自後累世昌阜,司空文穆公充,惲之孫也,貴達至今。〉遞薦昭曰:「天真高絜,老而彌篤。玄虛靜素,有夷、皓之節。宜蒙徵命,以勵風俗。」〈《高士傳》曰:朝廷以戎車未息,徵命之事,且須後之,昭以故不即徵。後顗、休復與庾嶷薦昭,有詔訪於本州評議。侍中韋誕駮曰:「禮賢徵士,王政之所重也,古者考行於鄉。今顗等位皆常伯納言,嶷為卿佐,足以取信。附下罔上,忠臣之所不行也。昭宿德耆艾,遺逸山林,誠宜加異。」乃從誕議也。〉至嘉平二年,公車特徵,會卒,年八十九。拜子纂郎中。
