Translation
[Eng]
Book V. On the Hip and Its Prolapse. Chapter XXXI.
The pelvic sinuses are called cups (cotylae) by the
Greeks, and in these sinuses, we have an inkwell (acetabula). The region around
which the movements take place is called the coxendices (hip joint), by the
Greeks the sciatic (ischia), from which the term ischiadici (related to the
hip) comes for those suffering from hip issues. And the sinew/nerve (neruus)
which connects the hip (coxendix) to the inkwell (acetabulo) is also called
sciatic (ischion).
