【佉梨】此云斛。《律歷誌》云：「量者，龠（音藥）、合（音閣）、升、斗，斛也。」所以量多少也。本起於黃鐘之龠，用度數審其容，以子穀秬黍中者，千有二百實其龠；以井水準其概（孟康曰：「概欲其直，故以水平之。井水清，清則平也。」），合龠為合，十合為升，十升為斗，十斗為斛，而五量嘉矣。量多少者，不失圭撮（應邵云：「圭，自然之形，陰陽之始也。四圭曰撮，三指撮之也。」）。

【Khārī】Here translated as hu. The Treatise on Pitchpipes and Calendars states: 'The measures of capacity are the yue, the ge, the sheng, the dou, and the hu.' They are that by which quantity is measured. They originally arose from the yue of the Yellow Bell; using standard measures, its volume was examined, filling the yue with one thousand two hundred medium-sized grains of black millet; using well water, its level was adjusted (Meng Kang says: 'The levelling stick should be straight, so it is levelled with water. Well water is clear, and being clear it is level'); combining the yue makes a ge, ten ge make a sheng, ten sheng make a dou, ten dou make a hu, and the five measures of capacity are complete. Measuring quantity does not err by a gui or a cuo (Ying Shao says: 'A gui is a natural form, the beginning of yin and yang. Four gui are called a cuo; a cuo is what is pinched with three fingers').
