84.135

梟斬（堅堯反顧野王云懸首於木上竿頭以肆其辜說文云倒首為梟象形字也論文從鳥作梟非也）。

Behead and expose the head (梟斬, fanqie: 堅堯): Gu Yewang says, 'Suspending a severed head from a tree or atop a pole to display their crime.' The Shuowen jiezi says, 'An inverted head is an owl (梟)'; it is a pictographic character. The treatise text writes it with 鳥 as 梟, which is incorrect).
