The author mentions ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF) in an animal and an episode of its damage in a human. To denote the LCF, Josephus Flavius used the Greek term «νεῦρον».

Translation
[Eng]
Antiquities of the Jews. Book 1. 20.2
When Jacob had made these appointments all the day, and night came on,
he moved on with his company; and, as they were gone over a certain river called
Jabboc, Jacob was left behind; and meeting with an angel he wrestled with him,
the angel beginning the struggle: but he prevailed over the angel, who used a
voice and spoke to him in words, exhorting him to be pleased with what had
happened to him, and not to suppose that his victory was a small one, but that
he had overcome a divine angel, and to esteem the victory as a sign of great
blessings that should come to him; and that his offspring should never fail,
and that no man should be too hard for his power. He also commanded him to be
called Israel, which in the Hebrew tongue signifies one that struggled with the
divine angel. These promises were made at the prayer of Jacob; for when he
perceived him to be the angel of God, he desired he would signify to him what
should befall him hereafter. And when the angel had said what is before related,
he disappeared; but Jacob was pleased with these things, and named the place
Phanuel, which signifies. The face of God. Now when he felt pain, by this
struggling, upon his broad sinew, he abstained from eating that sinew himself
afterward; and for his sake it is still not eaten by us. (original source: 1800JosephusF,
p. 68-69).
