Introduction, or the Physician. Chapter 12. [On osteology]
The hip has one bone. And its head, somewhat curved, enters the deep acetabulum of the pelvis; and it is connected by a sinew (νευρῳ), growing from the middle of this cavity and growing into the middle of the femoral head. (original source: 2020ArkhipovSV_ProlyginaIV).
