humani. Liber primus. Cap. XVI.
Inguina femorum priores partes sunt prope pubem

Theophilus Protospatharius. De corporis humani
fabrica. Liber quintus. Cap. XII.
Dei erga hominis amor, ex heminae fundo teretem neruum
promisit, cartilaginosum vinculum fæmoris capiti insertum adstringensq, ne
facile elabatur. Inde ex heminae oris aliae copulae oriuntur, totum foemoris
caput in orbem constringentes, non teretes & solae, qualis quae ex fundo
porrigitur, sed latae tuto que heminae oras ad commissurae praesidiu ambientes.
Translation
[Eng]
Quote p. 9.
Rufus of Ephesus. On the Names of the Parts of the
Human Body. Book I. Chapter
XVI.
The name of pelvis (ἰσχίον) [is given to] the ligament (νεῦρον) that attaches to
acetabulum and [secures] the entire joint.
Quote pp. 83-84.
Theophilus Protospatharius. On the Construction of the
Human Being. Book V. Chapter XII.
For the sake of this, the benevolence and disposition
of God grew from the bottom of the acetabulum a round sinew (νεῦρον), a cartilaginous
ligament (σύνδεσμον χονδρώδη), growing into the
head of the hipbone and holding it there to avoid dislocation. From the edge of
the entrance to the acetabulum begins the capsular ligament, which holds the
head of the femur around; it is not round and single [like the one that extends
from below], but wide, reliably enveloping the entrance to the acetabulum with
a protective adhesion.
