1How goodly, or beautiful, is the body, or person, of the man!—مَا أَحْسَنَ جُثْمَانَ الرَّجُلِ

The body, with the limbs or members; synonym جِسْمٌ, and the same as شَخْصٌ [apparently as meaning a person; not, as J seems to have held, a bodily form or substance such as is seen from a distance; see جِسْمٌ].

Or, accord. to As, it has the latter meaning, the same as شَخْصٌ, while جُسْمَانٌ has the former meaning, that of جِسْمٌ and جَسَدٌ.

Or, accord. to AZ, جُثْمَانٌ is synonymous with جُسْمَانٌ, that is, جَسَدٌ.

How goodly, or beautiful, is the body, or person, of the man!—جُسْمَانَهُ

J cites, as an example of this word in the sense of شخص, a verse of Bishr:

shāhid

سَنَامٌ كَجُثْمَانِ البَنِيِّةِ أَتْلَعَا

and he observes that by البنيّة the Kaabeh is meant. But IB says that the right reading, as found in his poetry, is البَلِيَّةِ and أَتْلَعُ, and that the meaning is: a [long] hump like the جثمان [or body] of the she-camel that is placed [and confined without food or water until she dies] at the grave of a dead man.
