The fourth [20] is carried to the‘middle of the tibia or Leg, with furclcs forward, and backward. Over againftf the Savbena , another vein I 14J IS brought forth from the outlide of the Trunk, but (horter then the vein SaPhtna IS, and reaches outward, and overthwart into the skin, that covers the forepart of the Hip-bone, as alfo into the Mufcles of the fame place, which the later Anatoraifts call Ijcbia. Thefe propagations being brought forth, the Trunk afterwards is drcnchtinto-^^^^^’^- the Mukles, that cornpafle the bone of the Thigh, andfetsoutathirdpropagationpicjT which they call Mujcula the Mufcle-vein 5 and there ufe to be two of thenk For the outer,which is the leflie, lends (hoots to the lecond,and fourth, extending Mulclcs of the tibia or Lcg,together with the skin ; the inner,and greater, affords twigs to the third ex¬ tender of the Leg, and to almoft all the Mufcles about the Thigh. After this the. Trunk turning to the Backfide, and defeending by degrees, fcatters (dme other twigs into the membranes ot the Mufcles, and by and by fends out a fourth vein, which runs into the backfide of the Thigh, and is called Peflitea, the Ham-vein [16] much fpoken of by wri- Popliteai ters of Phy lick, but efpecially by Hzppocrrftej the chief of them, who é. Epièw. i. 5. com¬ mends much thcjropening of -it in difeafes in the Kidneys. But it is oftentimi feated too deep to be cut without very great difficulty. I have learnt by frequent .experience, that iffues made in the Sura or calf of the Leg, to which this vein fpreads itfelf, have done a great deal* of good in many difeafes. This vein, when it is propagated, fomc- times receives the addition of a Sprig from the inner branch of the Mufcle-vein ; often¬ times alfo two propagations iffiiefrom the Trunk, one higher, and another lower,which afterward are united in their journey .But prcfently after its rife it fratters fome branches into the skin of the Thigh, about the higher and hinder part of it; then it^ runs down dircRly through the middle of the Ham, or bending of the Leg, into the Calf, to which it diftributes many Surclcs,that run on with an uncertain courfe, fomcdircaiy, fome overthwart, and fome obliquely. Thefe little branches being thus difîêmina- ted, the vein pafles on as far as to the talus, or Cockall-bonc, and there at length determins. And this is the progrefle of the Cmrall-Trunk, and thefe the propagations which it The diriGow fcatters, before it be divided. For lying upon the bone of the Thigh, it fo deftends, and of the Trunfe runs fide-long near to it, that, when it has attained to the Knee, it is carried betwixt the two loweft, and hindmoft heads of the Thigh, in which place [a] it is cleft afunder into two branches, an outer, and an inner one. But they are of imcquall bignefîê, the cuter being the fmallcr, and the inner the greater, but both of them [© Sj are frattered through the Leg, and loweft part of the Foot. The inner [©] in its defeent lends fome propagations to the Muftles, that arc placed on the backfide of the Leg, and efpccially thole which make the Calf, but moft of all to the inner part [21^ of the Galieronemius externus, or outward Calf-Mufcle, andfo afterward continuing its courfe downward, when it is come to the lower Affendix of the tibia or Leg, and has beftowed fome (hoots Upon the skin, it is reflected under the inner Ankle [223 and runs out as far as to the great Toe. The outer is prefently cleft into two lefîêr branches, that are likewilc unequal 1, of which the inner [_«■] that is the greater, and lies deep, is wholly fpent up¬ on the Mufcles of the Calf, running all along direftly betwixt the two heads of the Grf- fteronmius externus, or firft moving Muftlc of the Foot, as alfo betwixt the Gafieronemius internus, or inward Calf-Mufclc, and the tibieus anticus or forward Lcg-Mufclc, and at laft betwixt the Mufcles, that bend the Tocs,diftributing fome furcles every where by the way to the Mufcles, through which it pafles. When it conics to the mid length of the Leg, it is again fubdivided into an inner,and an outer branch. The inner of thclc diftributes a- twig near to the joint of the tibia or greater Leg-bonCjand the bone called the Cockall, defeends with the Tendons of the Mufcles, and is divided into the great,the fore, and the middle Toes, The outer pafles on near to the or lefîêr bone of the Leg, and when it comes to the Ligament, which tycs together the greater and lefler bones ot the Leg, it fiioots forth a branchjWhich perforating the Ligament runs into the Fbot, and is frattered into the Mufcles; which bend the Toes of the Foot outward.
