1003. Their order of succession with respect to the body, is as follows: Those portraying the medium liquid component are at the left side next to the body, below the elbow.* Those portraying the ureters are toward the left, but farther from the body. Those portraying the bladder appear still farther away, and in fact, in front of the left side of the face, at the same level, so they are sometimes very far removed. I could not make out what they were doing, except what was explicitly pointed out to me. Together, therefore, from the left side toward the front, they form a kind of hyperbola [extending] from the quarters to the left, frontwards, thus covering quite a long stretch. * The word ulna, "elbow," in the ms. was tampered with by B. Chastanier, and erroneously changed to ureter.
