孫騭，滑台人。 Sun Zhi came from Huatai.

億既死，魏帥以章表箋疏淹積，兼月不能發一字，或以騭為言，即署本職，主奏記事。 After Yi died the Wei commander's desk was buried in memorials for more than a month with no reply sent; when Zhi was recommended he was put in charge of drafting at once.

太祖禦天下，念潛龍時，騭奉其主，好問往來數十返，甚錄之。 When the Founder ruled the realm he remembered how Zhi had served him in his rise, their letters going back and forth dozens of times, and valued it highly.

騭雅好聚書，有《六經》、漢史洎百家之言，凡數千卷，皆簡翰精至，披勘詳定，得暇即朝夕耽玩，曾無少怠。 Zhi loved books; he owned several thousand scrolls of the 《Six Classics》, Han histories, and the masters, all finely copied and collated, and whenever he had a moment he read morning and night without slack.

又命飛騎促於道，而騭與諫議大夫張衍、兵部郎中張俊等累刻方至，太祖性本卞急，因茲大怒，並格殺於前墀。 couriers were sent to hurry stragglers on the road, but Zhi, Remonstrance Grand Master Zhang Yan, Bureau Director Zhang Jun, and others arrived only after long delay; the Founder was by nature irascible, flew into a rage, and had them all beaten to death in the forecourt.

乾化二年二月，扈從後至，與孫騭、張衍同日遇禍於白馬頓。 In the second month of Qianhua 2 he came late on the northern tour and, with Sun Zhi and Zhang Yan, was killed the same day at Baima post.

太祖微聞之，又屬應召稽晚，與孫騭等同日遇禍。 the Founder caught wind of it; when Yan was also slow to answer the summons he suffered the same fate as Sun Zhi that day.
