46. The membranous muscle, which appears initially harmful, subsequently spreads externally over the entire thigh bone. It originates at the height of the hip bone and ends at the beginning of the shin bone, facilitating the free movement of the shin.
47. The two-bellied mixed muscle springs against the large calf and ends with an external following in the small part for the expression of the shin.
48. The strong and straight muscle originates from the lower part of the hip bone and ends with the shin bone.
49. The least uniform muscle springs from the smaller calf and ends with the other two.
50. The sartorial or tailor's muscle begins from the upper part of the hip bone and ends in the middle of the four inner fingers to compress and equalize.
51. The front tailor's muscle arises from one side of the shin and the clamp or smaller bone arises exactly by the big toe, helping with the traction and light movement of the foot with the outer main muscle.
52. The open clamp muscle springs continuously from the beginning of the clamp or clasp bone, extending behind the mentioned joint, receiving itself in the sole-bone, finely adjusted to the small toe.
53. The other clamp muscle originates from the height of the clamp or clasp bone which carries its security, and must align with the outer foot for adjustment by the outer foot.
54. The wavy muscles continue enthusiastically with splendid and emerging actions from the inner part of the thigh bones, are capably fleshy, circulating in the special part, partly, and end in the foothole, assisting in the reception of the thigh, assisting the outer half of the shin, and raising the shin, and the extension of the foot.

The crooked muscle for
55. The Solemomega muscle 
springs continuously against the shin and clasp or clamp-bone
and anchors with the previously mentioned.
56. The bending muscle
of the toe, arises near the clamp or clasp bone,
continues behind the mentioned joint, through
the sole-bone, finishing at the last joint
of the toe, aiding in the drawing out
of the big toe.

57. The long stretching muscle of the toes originates from the mentioned part of the shin bone near the clasp-bone, continuing against the shin muscles, forming into the neck of the foot, directing itself to the toes, except for the big toe which has its independent muscle.

52. Peroneus Longus
