《三国志·魏书·方技传》
又派人用手摸胎儿的位置，如在左边则是男胎，在右边则是女胎。
使人手摸知所在，在左则男，在右则女。
He also sent someone to check the position of the fetus with his hand. If it is on the left, it is a male fetus. If it is on the right, it is a female fetus.

Step 1: **使人手摸知所在** -> 使人手 = someone; 摸 = check/feel; 知 = know; 所在 = position
Step 2: **在左则男，在右则女。** -> 在左 = on the left; 则 = then/if; 男 = male; 在右 = on the right; 则 = then/if; 女 = female
Final English translation: He also sent someone to check the position of the fetus with his hand. If it is on the left, it is a male fetus. If it is on the right, it is a female fetus.</s>
