33.242

蝡動(上閏尹反考聲無足曰蝡有足曰蟲淮南子云昆虫蝡動是也說文蝡亦動也從虫耎聲耎音而兖反經文作蝡非也)。

蝡動 (the first character is run-yin fan; the Kaosheng says: "Those without legs are called ruan; those with legs are called chong; the Huainanzi says: 'Insects wriggle and move', this is it"; the Shuowen jiezi says: "Ruan also means to move; it is composed of 'insect' with ruan as phonetic"; ruan is pronounced er-yan fan; in the sūtra text it is written 蝡, which is incorrect).
