鬄鬚(上體計反下相臾反南方夷人裝飾各異或鬄髮或剪䰅或文身或椎髻穿耳跣足朝霞哥縵例皆如此其字或從弟作鬀或從刀作剃今傳文從髟作鬄鬚為正也)。

Shaving hair and beard (鬄鬚: the upper character has the fanqie tǐ + jì [tì]; the lower has the fanqie xiāng + yú [xū]. The foreign tribes of the south have diverse personal ornaments: some shave their hair, some trim their beards, some tattoo their bodies, or wear mallet-shaped topknots, pierce their ears, go barefoot, or wear robes like morning-cloud silk (chaoxia) or cotton wraps (geman)—all are like this by custom. The character is sometimes written with 弟 as 鬀, or with 刀 as 剃; currently transmitted texts write it with 髟 as 鬄, which is correct).
