「縈疾」一詞見於清華柒《越公其事》簡31，學界目前有讀作「勞疾」、「營 疾」、「嬰疾」三種意見，筆者透過爬梳古籍、墓誌銘資料，主張「縈」應讀為「嬰」， 即罹患、遭遇之意。有趣的是，「嬰疾」與「縈疾」的用例同時保留在漢魏以後 的墓誌銘中，「縈」當是「嬰」的借字，就《越公其事》來看，這種用法的「嬰」 應是前有所承。簡文「王其有嬰疾?」應指「王大概會生病吧?」是庶民對於勾 踐勤於農政的擔憂。

We can find on the We found that examples of “嬰疾” and “縈疾” appeared in epitaphs after the Han and Wei Dynasties, and “縈” should be a borrowed word for “嬰”.
