盱衡（上酗于反司馬彪注云盱猶視而無知貌也蒼頡篇云盱張目也說文云盱以憂病也從目于聲傳文從日作𰕱書誤也下正衡字考聲從行角從大謂牛觸人則橫一木於角上衡猶橫也會意字也文字典說從行角聲正衡字）。

盱衡 (The first character has the fanqie phonetic spelling 酗 [xù] + 于 [yú], [xū]. Sima Biao's commentary says: "'Xū' is like the appearance of looking without understanding." The Cang Jie pian says: "'Xū' means opening the eyes wide." The Shuowen says: "'Xū' means suffering from worry and illness. It takes 目 [eye] as its radical and 于 as its phonetic component." In the text of the biography it is written with 日 [sun] as 𰕱, which is a scribal error. The second character is the correct form of the character 衡 [héng]. The Kaosheng states: "It is composed of 行 [go], 角 [horn], and 大 [great], meaning that when an ox butts people, a piece of wood is placed horizontally across its horns. 'Héng' is like 'horizontal'. It is an associative compound character." The Wenzidian shuo states: "It is composed of 行 with 角 as phonetic; it is the correct character for 衡").
