Translation
What they now call a half-xestes.1
[So called] because that is where material [hylê] lies [keisthai].2
A kind of cup with the same name as the liquid vessel, like a choinix.
And a kind of measure.3 And the hollow [part] of the bone, in which the head of the thigh bone turns.4
And what is used to carry loads, which was first invented by Protagoras: for he was a porter.5
