大辟（古文壁𠮃二形同脾尺反字林辟法也韓詩或辟四方辟除也字從尸口辛者制其罪口用法也論文作邪僻字非也）。

Da pi 大辟 (capital punishment: ancient characters have the two forms 壁 and 𠮃; pi + chi fan; Zilin states: "Pi means the penal code." Han's commentary on the Shijing has: "Some pi the four quarters," where pi means to clear away. The character is composed of body (尸), mouth (口), and bitter/punishment (辛)—the punishment regulates their crime, and the mouth applies the law. The treatise text writes the perverse pi (僻), which is erroneous).
