四分律行事鈔資持記 2.556

2.556

次科中。初如緣起說；二謂見犯下聚，以初聚謗；三謂餘人與所謗者名姓相同，以彼所犯用謗此人；四即本在俗時曾作重過，今用加舉；五謂自語聞彼響聲，言作淫盜等。上四義通三根，後一唯局聞疑。言下，論釋甚顯。

In the next section: the first is as stated in the origin story; the second means seeing someone commit a lower class of offense and slandering him with the first class; the third means another person has the same name and surname as the slandered person, and one uses that person's offense to slander this person; the fourth means originally in lay life he had committed a grave fault, and now one uses it to bring an accusation; the fifth means hearing a sound of one's own speech and claiming he committed sexual misconduct, theft, and so forth. The above four meanings apply across the three grounds; the last one is restricted solely to hearing and suspicion. From "The text..." downward, the treatise's explanation is very clear.
