驝駝(上湯洛反下徒何反周書王會正北以𩧐駝為獻顧野王背有肉鞍能負重善行致遠北方饒之說文並從馬橐它皆聲)。

Camel (驝駝): the first character has the fanqie 湯洛 [tuò]; the second has the fanqie 徒何 [tuó]. The 'Wanghui' chapter of the Zhoushu states: 'The northern quarters presented camel-beasts as tribute.' Gu Yewang states: 'With fleshy saddles on its back, capable of bearing heavy loads and skilful at travelling long distances; plentiful in the north.' The Shuowen jiezi states: 'Both are composed of 馬 ('horse'), with 橐 and 它 as respective phonophores.'
