〈柬大王泊旱〉考釋四則

本文對著錄於《上海博物館藏戰國楚竹書（四）》的〈柬大王泊旱〉提出四點考釋意見，其一：簡19「□」可讀為「胥」或「諝」，訓為「有才智」；「長子」意指「優秀子孫」;「君聖人胥（諝）良長子」是說太宰乃有才智又賢明的聖人子孫。其二：簡14「□」讀作「呻」，訓「嘆息」，「王仰而呻而泣，謂太宰……」描繪楚簡王仰頭呻吟後轉為低聲泣下，之後才跟太宰對話。其三：簡14「矦」讀為「兮」，是無義的句末語助詞，簡文「一人不能治政，而百姓以絕兮。」表達楚簡王之嘆。其四：簡13「方若肰里」讀為「方若如里」，「若如」有「如同」之意，「里」是五鄰或三百步見方的區域範圍，但「鄰里」之「里」的區域大小變動不定，不適合作為修郢郊的範圍基準，故以後說的可能性較大。
