A further 500 li east stands Mount Fúyù [浮玉]. To the north one sees Jùqū [具區], and to the east Zhūpí [諸毗]. There is a beast like a Hǔ, but with an ox's tail and a voice like a barking dog. Its name is Zhì [彘]; it eats people. The Tiáo [苕] River rises on the northern slope and flows north into Jùqū [具區], with many Jì [鮆] fish in its waters.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
