贙兕（上玄犬反郭注爾雅云出西海大秦國有養者似犬多力說文分別從虤對爭貝也虤音五閑反論作𧷠誤也下辭姉反山海經云兕在舜葬東明水南狀如牛蒼黑色郭璞云一角青色重子斤說文如野牛而青象形字禽离頭同也論本作先字）。

Xiàn and rhinoceros (贙兕: first character fanqie 玄犬; Guo's commentary on the Erya says: "It comes from the Western Sea in the Daqin state; there are those who rear it; it resembles a dog and has great strength." The Shuowen says: "To distinguish; formed from two tigers disputing over a cowrie shell [虤 and 貝]." 虤 has the fanqie 五閑. In the treatise it is written as 𧷠, which is an error. Second character fanqie 辭姉; the Shanhai jing says: "The sì (兕) is south of the Ming River east of Shun's burial mound; it is shaped like an ox and is blackish-blue." Guo Pu says: "It has one horn, is blue-green, and weighs a thousand jin." The Shuowen says: "Like a wild ox and blue-green; a pictographic character whose head is the same as that of beasts and animals [禽 and 离]." In the original text of the treatise, it was written with the character 先).
