棘束（上矝憶反方言凡草木刺人江淮之間謂之棘毛詩傳曰棘酸棗也說文小棗叢生者從竝朿經本從竝束誤也下雌賜反顧野王謂木皮外有銳刺者也說文木芒象形也經本從刀作刺諛也是煞傷之刺也）。

棘束 (First character, fanqie: 矝 + 憶. The Fangyan states: all thorny plants that prick people are called 棘 in the region between the Yangtze and Huai rivers. The commentary on the Mao Shi states: 棘 means sour jujube. The Shuowen jiezi states: small jujube bushes growing in clusters; composed with two 朿 side by side; the sūtra manuscript writes it with two 束, which is an error. Second character, fanqie: 雌 + 賜. Gu Yewang refers to sharp thorns on the outside of tree bark. The Shuowen jiezi states: the awn of a tree, a pictograph; the sūtra manuscript writes it with the 'knife' radical as 刺, which refers to stabbing and wounding.)
