      马仙琕字灵馥，扶风郿人也。仙琕少以果敢闻。遭父忧，毁瘠过礼，负土成坟。随齐安陆王萧缅。缅卒，事明帝。永元中，萧遥光、崔慧景乱，累有战功，以勋至前将军。会寿阳新陷，魏将王肃侵边，仙琕力战，以寡克众，魏人甚惮之。

     义师起，四方多响应，高祖使仙琕故人姚仲宾说之，仙琕于军斩仲宾以徇。义师至新林，仙琕犹持兵于江西，日抄运漕。建康城陷，仙琕号哭经宿，乃解兵归罪。高祖劳之曰：“射钩斩袪^①，昔人弗忌。卿勿以戮使断运苟自嫌绝也。”仙琕谢曰：“小人如失主犬，后主饲之，便复为用。”高祖笑而美之。俄而仙琕母卒，高祖知其贫，赙给甚厚。仙琕号泣，谓弟仲艾曰：“蒙大造之恩，未获上报，今复荷殊泽，当与尔以心力自效耳。”

     天监四年，王师北讨，仙琕每战，勇冠三军，当其冲者，莫不摧破。与诸将论议，口未尝言功。人问其故，仙琕曰：“大丈夫当进不求名，退不逃罪，乃平生愿也，何功可论！”

     十年，朐山民杀琅邪太守刘晣，以城降魏，诏假仙琕节，讨之。魏徐州刺史卢昶以众十馀万赴焉。仙琕与战，累破之，昶遁走。仙琕纵兵乘之，魏众免者十一二，振旅还京师，迁太子左卫率。十一年，迁豫州刺史，领南汝阴太守。

     初，仙琕幼名仙婢，及长，以“婢”名不典，乃以“玉”代“女”，因成“琕”云。自 为 将 及 居 州 郡 能 与 士 卒 同 劳 逸 身 衣 不 过 布 帛 所 居 无 帏 幕 衾屏 行 则 饮 食 与 厮 养 最 下 者 同 其在边境，常单身潜入敌庭，伺知壁垒村落险要处所。故战多克捷，士卒亦甘心为之用，高祖雅爱仗之。在州四年，卒。赠左卫将军，谥曰刚。
