12. Ἡ δὲ κνήμη δύο ὀστέα ἐστὶ, τῇ μὲν συχνῷ λεπτότερον
τὸ ἕτερον τοῦ ἑτέρου, τῇ δὲ οὐ πολλῷ λεπτότερον· ξυνέχεται δὲ
ἀλλήλοισι τὰ πρὸς τοῦ ποδὸς, καὶ ἐπίφυσιν κοινὴν ἔχει, ἐν ἰθυωρίῃ
δὲ τῆς κνήμης οὐ ξυνέχεται· τὰ δὲ πρὸς τοῦ μηροῦ ξυνέχεται, καὶ
ἐπίφυσιν ἔχει, καὶ ἡ ἐπίφυσις διάφυσιν· μακρότερον δὲ τὸ ἕτερον
ὀστέον σμικρῷ τὸ κατὰ τὸν σμικρὸν δάκτυλον· ἡ μὲν φύσις
τοιαύτη τῶν ὀστέων τῶν ἐν τῇ κνήμῃ.

ἡ δὲ κνήμη δύο ὀστέα ἐστὶ, τῇ μὲν συχνῷ λεπτότερον τὸ ἕτερον τοῦ ἑτέρου, τῇ δὲ οὐ πολλῷ λεπτότερον· ξυνέχεται δὲ ἀλλήλοισι τὰ πρὸς τοῦ ποδὸς, καὶ ἐπίφυσιν κοινὴν ἔχει, ἐν ἰθυωρίῃ δὲ τῆς κνήμης οὐ ξυνέχεται· τὰ δὲ πρὸς τοῦ μηροῦ ξυνέχεται, και ἐπίφυσιν ἔχει, καὶ ἡ ἐπίφυσις διάφυσιν· μακρότερον δὲ τὸ ἕτερον ὀστέον σμικρῷ τὸ κατὰ τὸν σμικρὸν δάκτυλον· ἡ μὲν φύσις τοιαύτη τῶν ὀστέων τῶν ἐν τῇ κνήμῃ.

[12] The leg consists of two bones, of which the one is much more slender than the other at one part, but not much more slender at another. These are connected together at the foot, and form a common epiphysis, but they are not united together along the line of the leg; and at the thigh they are united together and form an epiphysis, and this epiphysis has a diaphysis; but the other bone in a line with the little toe is a little longer. Such is the nature of the bones of the leg.
