Biography

刘驎之,南阳人。
晋书卷九十四 列传第六十四:
  刘驎之,字子骥,南阳人,光禄大夫耽之族也。驎之少尚质素,虚退寡欲,不修仪操,人莫之知。好游山泽,志存遁逸。尝采药至衡山,深入忘反,见有一涧水,水南有二石囷,一囷闭,一囷开,水深广不得过。欲还,失道,遇伐弓人,问径,仅得还家。或说囷中皆仙灵方药诸杂物,驎之欲更寻索,终不复知处也。车骑将军桓冲闻其名,请为长史,驎之固辞不受。冲尝到其家,驎之于树条桑,使者致命,驎之曰:"使君既枉驾光临,宜先诣家君。"冲闻大愧,于是乃造其父。父命驎之,然后方还,拂短褐与冲言话。父使驎之于内自持浊酒蔬菜供宾,冲敕人代驎之斟酌,父辞曰:"若使从者,非野人之意也。"冲慨然,至昏乃退。驎之虽冠冕之族,信仪著于群小,凡厮伍之家婚娶葬送,无不躬自造焉。居于阳岐,在官道之侧,人物来往,莫不投之。驎之躬自供给,士君子颇以劳累,更惮过焉。凡人致赠,一无所受。去驎之家百余里,有一孤姥,病将死,叹息谓人曰:"谁当埋我,惟有刘长史耳!何由令知。"驎之先闻其有患,故往侯之,值其命终,乃身为营棺殡送之。其仁爱隐恻若此。卒以寿终。
