蟲䏣(逐融反爾雅有足曰蟲無足曰豸經文作虫訛略也下七余反說文云蠅乳肉中蟲也從肉從沮省聲也經中作蛆俗字也)。

Worms and maggots (蟲䏣: [蟲 is] zhu + rong fan. The Erya says: those with legs are called insects (蟲); those without legs are called creeping grubs (豸). The sūtra text writes 虫, which is an erroneous abbreviation. The lower character is qi + yu fan. The Shuowen jiezi says: worms born in flesh from flies breeding; it takes the flesh signific and ju abbreviative phonetic. In the sūtra it is written as 蛆, which is a popular character).
