襃女(保毛反考聲襃美也亦國名也襃似周幽王櫱妃也好見烽燧見則笑笑則百媚生幽王悅之因敗其國西戎來滅說文從衣保聲也)。

襃女 (bao + mao [bāo]. The Kaosheng [says]: "襃 means fine/beautiful; it is also the name of a state." Bao Si was the illegitimate consort of King You of Zhou. She liked to watch the beacon fires; when she saw them she smiled, and when she smiled a hundred charms arose. King You was pleased by her, and on her account ruined his state, and the Western Rong came and destroyed it. The Shuowen [notes that it] derives from 衣 [garment] with 保 as phonetic.)
