駞驢(上徒何反說文駱駞獸名外國圖云大秦國人身長一丈五尺好騎駱駞又作駝字下力居反切韻畜也漢書西域傳云烏桓國有驢無牛也)。

駞驢 (The first character has the fanqie *tu* + *he* [tuo]. The *Shuowen* states: "The camel (*luotuo*), the name of a beast." The *Waiguo tu* states: "The people of Daqin are one chang and five chi tall; they are fond of riding camels." It is also written as 駝. The second character has the fanqie *li* + *ju* [lü]. The *Qieyun* states: "A domestic animal." The 'Account of the Western Regions' in the *Hanshu* states: "The country of Wuhuan has donkeys but no cattle.")
