《北史·列传·卷二十六》
裴矩平常勤勉谨慎，不曾与别人违拗。又看见天下动乱，恐怕祸及自身，他与别人交往，都超过别人的期望。所以，虽然担任这些职务，都能得到人们的欢心。
矩素勤谨，未尝忤物，又见天下方乱，恐为身祸，其待遇人，多过其所望，故虽厮役，皆得其叹心。
Pei Ji was normally diligent, cautious and never argued with others. Again, seeing the unrest in the world, he feared that it would bring disaster upon him. He treated others beyond their expectations. Therefore, although he was appointed to these positions, he gained the favor of the people.
