馮伉，魏州元城人，徙貫京兆。 Feng Kang came from Yuancheng in Weizhou and later registered his household in Jingzhao.

李抱真卒，伉持節臨吊，歸之帛，不受，又致京師，伉上表固拒。 When Li Baozhen died, Kang went with credentials to offer condolences; he refused the returned silks, and when they were sent again to the capital he memorialized firmly refusing them.

遂以授伉。 He was thereupon given the post to Kang.

縣多嚚猾，數犯法，伉為著《諭蒙書》十四篇，大抵勸之務農、進學而教以忠孝。 The county had many unruly and cunning men who repeatedly broke the law; Kang composed fourteen chapters of Instructions for the Untaught, mostly urging farming and study while teaching loyalty and filial piety.
