8. Αἱ φλέβες δὲ αἱ παχεῖαι ὧδε πεφύκασιν· ἐκ τοῦ ὀφθαλμοῦ παρὰ τὴν ὀφρὺν, διὰ τοῦ νώτου παρὰ τὸν πλεύμονα ὑπὸ τοῦ στήθεος· ἡ μὲν ἐκ τοῦ δεξιοῦ ἐς τὸ ἀριστερὸν, ἡ δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ἀριστεροῦ ἐς τὸ δεξιόν. Ἡ μὲν οὖν ἐκ τοῦ ἀριστεροῦ διὰ τοῦ ἥπατος ἐς τὸν νεφρὸν καὶ τὸν ὄρχιν, ἡ δὲ ἐκ τοῦ δεξιοῦ ἐς τὸν σπλῆνα καὶ νεφρὸν καὶ ὄρχιν· ταύτῃσι δὲ τὸ στόμα αἰδοῖον. Ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ δεξιοῦ τιτθοῦ ἐς τὸ ἀριστερὸν ἰσχίον καὶ ἐς τὸ σκέλος· καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀριστεροῦ ἐς τὰ δεξιά. Ὁ δὲ ὀφθαλμὸς ὁ δεξιὸς ἐκ τοῦ ἀριστεροῦ καὶ ὁ ὄρχις, κατὰ τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον ἐκ τοῦ δεξιοῦ ὁ ἀριστερός.
