59.172

貪餮 (Also written as 飻, the same, fanqie 他結 [tiè]. Shuowen: greedy. Old vinaya editions mostly write taotie (饕飻), with 他勞 [tāo] fanqie. Note that the Zuozhuan states: 'The Jinyun clan had an unworthy son who was greedy for food and drink, covetous of goods and bribes, accumulating without knowing limit or end; the people called him Taotie.' Du Yu says: 'Coveting wealth is called tāo; coveting food is called tiè.')
