螘出(冝倚反尒雅云大者曰蚍蜉小者蟻說文亦同尒雅從䖝豈聲經作蟻或作[義/虫]並俗字也)。

Ants emerging (螘出: [螘 has the fanqie] 冝倚反. The Erya says: 'The large ones are called 蚍蜉 (carpenter ants); the small ones are called 蟻 (ants).' The Shuowen agrees. In the Erya it is composed of 䖝 with 豈 phonetic. In the sūtra it is written as 蟻 or as [義/虫], both of which are popular forms).
