駞猫（上馱羅反山海經云號山多𩧐駞郭注尒疋云騾駞𩧐駞也背有肉案負千斤知井泉所在也古今正字從馬㐌聲也音陀下夘包反禮記云迎猫謂其食田鼠也顧野王云猫似虎而小人家所養畜以捕鼠也古今正字從豸苗聲也論從犬作福俗字通也豸音雉也）。

> Camel and cat (駞猫; the first character is pronounced with the fanqie 馱羅 \[tuó\]. The Shanhaijing states: 'Mount Hao has many pack-camels (橐駞).' Guo Pu's Commentary on the Erya states: 'Mule-camels are pack-camels. They have flesh saddles on their backs, can bear a thousand catties, and know where water springs are located.' The Gujin zhengzi states that it takes 'horse' \[馬\] as radical and 它 as phonetic, pronounced tuó. The second character is pronounced with the fanqie 夘包 \[māo\]. The Book of Rites states: 'Welcoming the cat (猫) is because it eats field mice.' Gu Yewang states: 'The cat resembles a tiger but is smaller; people raise it as a domestic animal to catch mice.' The Gujin zhengzi states that it takes 豸 as radical and 苗 as phonetic. In the treatise text, writing it with the "dog" radical \[犬\] as 貓 is a common vulgar form. 豸 is pronounced 雉 \[zhì\]).
