何夔字叔龍,陳郡陽夏人也。曾祖父熙,漢安帝時官至车騎將軍。〈華峤《漢書》曰:熙字孟孫,少有大志,不拘小節。身長八尺五寸,体貌魁梧,善爲容儀。舉孝廉,爲谒者,贊拜殿中,音动左右。和帝(佳)之,历位司隸校尉、大司农。永初三年,南单于與乌丸俱反,以熙行车騎將軍征之,累有功。乌丸请降,单于復稱臣如舊。會熙暴疾卒。〉夔幼喪父,與母兄居,以孝友稱。長八尺三寸,容貌矜严。〈《魏書》曰:漢末阉宦用事,夔從父衡爲尚書,有直言,由是在党中,諸父兄皆禁锢。夔歎曰:『天地闭,賢人隱。』故不应宰司之命。〉避亂淮南。后袁术至壽春,辟之,夔不应,然遂爲术所留。久之,术與桥蕤俱攻围蕲陽,蕲陽爲太祖固守。术以夔彼郡人,欲胁令说蕲陽。夔謂术謀臣李業曰:『昔柳下惠聞伐國之謀而有忧色,曰「吾聞伐國不問仁人,斯言何爲至於我哉」!』遂遁匿灊山。术知夔終不爲己用,乃止。术從兄山陽太守遺母,夔從姑也,是以雖恨夔而不加害。
