68.176

Drifting and surging (漂激): the first character is [pronounced with the fanqie] 疋 + 遙. Gu Yewang says: 'Piāo is like flowing.' The Shuowen says: 'Piāo means floating.' The second character is 經 + 歷. Sima Biao's Commentary to the Zhuangzi says: 'A swift current is called jī.' The Shuowen says: 'Jī means swift, obstructed, diagonal waves. Both characters take the radical 水 (water), and 票 and 敫 are respectively phonetic.'
