《三国志·魏书·桓二陈徐卫卢传》
文帝说： 陈季弼面对关系重大的事情时，智慧谋略都超过常人，实在是一时的俊杰。 文帝登基之后，陈矫被调任掌管吏部，封为高陵亭侯，升任为尚书令。
文帝曰： 陈季弼临大节，明略过人，信一时之俊杰也。 帝既践阼，转署吏部，封高陵亭侯，迁尚书令。
Emperor Wen said: "Chen Jibi, when confronted with matters of great import, demonstrates wisdom and strategies beyond the reach of ordinary men. He is truly a remarkable talent of his time." After Emperor Wen ascended to the throne, Chen Jiao was reassigned to take charge of the Ministry of Personnel, ennobled as Marquis of Gaoling Pavilion, and promoted to Minister of the Imperial Secretariat.
