猫貍（上卯包反顧野王曰猫如虎而小食鼠者也古今正字從犭苗聲下里之反考聲貍今之野貍也顧野王貍猫之類也說文伏獸也從豸里聲經從犬作狸俗用字也）。

猫貍 [Cats and wildcats] (The first character has the fanqie: 卯 + 包. Gu Yewang says: “The cat resembles a tiger but is smaller and eats mice.” The Gujin zhengzi says: “Classified under the radical 犭 with the phonetic 苗.” The second character has the fanqie: 里 + 之. The Kaosheng says: “貍 is today's wildcat.” Gu Yewang says: “The 貍 is of the cat family.” The Shuowen jiezi says: “A crouching beast; classified under the radical 豸 with the phonetic 里.” In the sūtra it is written with 犬 as 狸, which is a vulgar character).
