顾荣、陆机、陆云表荐循曰:“伏见吴兴武康令贺循德量邃茂,才鉴清远,服膺道素,风操凝峻,历践三城,刑政肃穆,守职下县,编名凡萃,出自新邦,朝无知己,恪居遐外,志不自营,年时倏忽,而邈无阶绪,实州党愚智所为怅然。 Gu Rong, Lu Ji, and Lu Yun jointly memorialized: "We humbly see that He Xun of Wukang combines depth of character with clarity of judgment, lives by the plain Way, and has governed three counties with a stern hand. A man of a newly conquered land without patrons at court, he languishes in a minor post while years slip away—the whole province grieves to see talent wasted.
