22.

Σωλῆνα δὲ εἰ μέν τις ὑπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὸν μηρὸν ὑποθείη μὴ ὑπερβάλλοντα τὴν ἰγνύην, βλάπτοι ἂν μᾶλλον ἢ ὠφελέοι: οὔτε γὰρ ἂν τὸ σῶμα κωλύοι, οὔτε τὴν κνήμην, ἄνευ τοῦ μηροῦ κινέεσθαι.

ἀσηρὸν γὰρ εἴη πρὸς τὴν ἰγνύην προσβαλλόμενον: καὶ ὃ ἥκιστα δεῖ, τοῦτ᾽ ἂν ἐποτρύνοι ποιέειν: ἥκιστα γὰρ δεῖ κατὰ τὸ γόνυ κάμπτειν: πᾶσαν γὰρ ἂν τύρβην παρέχοι τῇσιν ἐπιδέσεσιν: καὶ μηροῦ ἐπιδεδεμένου καὶ κνήμης, ὅστις κατὰ τὸ γόνυ κάμπτοι, ἀνάγκη ἂν εἴη τούτῳ τοὺς μύας ἄλλοτε ἄλλο σχῆμα ἴσχειν: ἀνάγκη δ᾽ ἂν εἴη καὶ τὰ ὀστέα τὰ κατεηγότα κίνησιν ἔχειν.

περὶ παντὸς οὖν ποιητέον τὴν ἰγνύην ἐντετάσθαι.

δοκέοι ἂν οὖν μοι ὁ σωλὴν, ὁ περιέχων πρὸς τὸν πόδα ἀπὸ τοῦ ἰσχίου, ὠφελέειν ὑποτιθέμενος: καὶ ἄλλως κατ᾽ ἰγνύην ταινίην χαλαρῶς περιβάλλειν

ξὺν τῷ σωλῆνι, ὥσπερ τὰ παιδία ἐν τῇσι κοίτῃσι σπαργανοῦται: εἶτα ἐπὴν ὁ μηρὸς ἐς τὸ ἄνω διαστρέφοιτο, ἢ ἐς τὸ πλάγιον, εὐκατασχετώτερον εἴη ἂν ξὺν τῷ σωλῆνι οὕτως.

ἢ οὖν διαμπερὲς εἴη ποιητέος ὁ σωλὴν, ἢ οὐ ποιητέος.
