Colleagues and subordinates (僚屬): The upper character is [read with the fanqie] 了彫. Kong's commentary on the Shangshu states that 僚 means officials. The Zuozhuan states: 'Those of the same office are called 僚.' It also states: 'Great officers have their retainers; gentlemen have their attendants; attendants have their menials; menials have their bondsmen; bondsmen have their subordinates.' Gu Yewang says they are people of the ninth rank. The Gujin zhengzi states it takes 人 as radical and 尞 as phonetic; it is also written as 寮. In the register it is written as 遼, which is erroneous. The lower character is [read with the fanqie] 殊欲.
