饕餮（古文䬢叨二形同他高反正字作飻同他結反說文貪也左傳縉雲氏有不才子貪于飲食[曰/月]於貨賄聚斂積實不知紀極天下人民謂之饕餮杜預曰貪財曰饕貪食曰餮）。

Taotie 饕餮 (in ancient script, the two forms 䬢 and 叨 are the same, [pronounced with the] fanqie 他高 [tā + gāo/*tʰâu/tāo]; the correct form is written as 飻, identical, [pronounced with the] fanqie 他結 [tā + jié/*tʰet/tiē]. The Shuowen says: 'Covetous.' The Zuo zhuan says: 'The Jinyun clan had an untalented descendant who was covetous of food and drink, greedy for wealth and goods, amassing and hoarding without knowing limit or bound; the people under heaven called him Taotie.' Du Yu says: 'Coveting wealth is called tao 饕; coveting food is called tie 餮').
