    許靖字文休,汝南平輿人。少與從弟劭俱知名,並有人倫臧否之稱,而私情不協。劭為郡功曹,排擯靖不得齒敘,以馬磨自給。颍川劉翊為汝南太守,乃舉靖計吏,察孝廉,除尚書郎,典選舉。靈帝崩,董卓秉政,以漢陽周毖為吏部尚書,與靖共謀議,進退天下之士,沙汰穢濁,顯拔幽滯。進用颍川荀爽、韓融、陳紀等為公、卿、郡守,拜尚書韓馥為冀州牧,侍中劉岱為兗州剌史,颍川張咨為南陽太守,陳留孔伷為豫州剌史,東郡張邈為陳留太守,而遷靖巴郡太守,不就,補御史中丞。馥等到官,各舉兵還向京都,欲以誅卓。卓怒毖曰︰「諸君言當拔用善士,卓從諸君計,不欲違天下人心。而諸君所用人,至官之日,還來相圖。卓何用查負!」叱毖令出,于外斬之。靖從兄陳相玚,又與伷合規,靖懼誅,奔伷。〈蜀記云:靖後自表曰:「黨賊求生,情所不忍;守官自危,死不成義。竊念古人當難詭常,權以濟其道。」〉伷卒,依揚州剌史陳祎。祎死,吳郡都尉許貢、會稽太守王朗素與靖有舊,故往保焉。靖收恤親裡,經紀振贍,出于仁濃。
