Una in medio deformetur femur, quod Graece meros dicitur; secundum eam canaliculi ad normae cacumen inprimantur; ex ordine eorum dextra ac sinistra altera femina constituantur; in extremis partibus semicanaliculi intervertantur.
The part in the middle is to be shaped flat as the thigh (which in Greek is called m'ros). Parallel channels are to be sunk with sides meeting in a right angle. To the right and left of them, in order, other flat surfaces or thighs are to be put. At the furthest edges, half channels are to be put.
