Shuowen:《史部》事：职也。从史，之省声。
Guangyun:《广韵·去声·志·胾》事：事刄又作剚倳。
《广韵·去声·志·事》事：使也，立也，由也，锄吏切，又侧吏切，二。
Kangxi:《康熙字典·亅部·七》事：〔古文〕叓𠭏《唐韵》锄吏切《集韵》《韵会》仕吏切，𠀤音示。大曰政，小曰事。《广韵》使也，立也，由也。《释名》事，伟也。伟立也。凡所立之功也。《书·大禹谟》六府三事允治。又《诗·小雅》三事大夫，莫肯夙夜。《注》三公也。又《诗·大雅》三事就绪。《注》三农之事也。又奉也。《礼·曲礼》年长以倍。则父事之。又营也，治也。《史记·曹参世家》卿大夫以下吏及宾客，见参不事事。又《广韵》《类篇》𠀤侧吏切。事刃，与倳剚同。别见人部倳字注。又《韵补》叶逝支切，音时。《蔡邕词》帝曰休哉，命公三事。乃耀柔嘉，是式百司。又叶诗纸切，音始。《诗·召南》于以用之，公侯之事。叶沚。又叶疎语切，书上声。《韩非子·扬权篇》使鸡司夜，令狸执鼠。皆用其能，上乃无事。又叶常御切，音树。《易林》虽愠不去，复职内事。
考证：〔《书·大禹谟》三事正德，利用后生。〕谨按后字误刊。三事与下文六字亦不连。谨照原文改爲六府三事允治。
