70.77

Conjecture and touch (揣觸: in ancient script written as [耑*ㄆ]; fanqie 初委 [chū + wěi = chuǐ], meaning to measure or fathom others; this pronunciation is used in Jiangnan; another pronunciation is fanqie 都果 [dū + guǒ = duǒ], meaning to measure or to test; northerners use this pronunciation; examining the treatise's meaning, the character should properly be 㨊, fanqie 初委 [chū + wěi = chuǐ]; 㨊 means to feel or grope; the Tongsu wen says: 'To grope and feel is called 㨊', which is this).
