The muscle passes out of the pelvis through the greater sciatic foramen, the upper part of which it fills, and is inserted by a rounded tendon into the upper border of the greater trochanter behind, but often partly blended with, the common tendon of the obturator internus and superior and inferior gemellus muscles.

The names of several " praefecti " ( regimental commanders ) are preserved, of which two have discernible origins : I . Rufus Papirianus Sentius Gemellus from " Berytos " ( Beirut, Lebanon ) and L . Caecilius Caecilianus from " Thaenae " ( Sfax, Tunisia ), both undatable.

These bands leave the pelvis through the lesser sciatic foramen and unite into a single flattened tendon, which passes horizontally across the capsule of the hip-joint, and, after receiving the attachments of the superior and inferior gemellus muscles, is inserted into the forepart of the medial surface of the greater trochanter above the trochanteric fossa.

The " medial surface ", of much less extent than the lateral, presents at its base a deep depression, the trochanteric fossa ( digital fossa ), for the insertion of the tendon of the obturator externus, and above and in front of this an impression for the insertion of the obturator internus and superior and inferior gemellus muscles.

Tiberius, perhaps sensitive to this ambition, rejected Sejanus's initial proposal to marry Germanicus'sister Livilla, the widow of Tiberius'son Drusus, who had since died, in AD 25, but later had withdrawn his objections so that, in AD 30, Sejanus was betrothed to Livilla's daughter Drusus convicted of treason and killed, along with their mother Agrippina, Tiberius appointed Caligula, Germanicus'youngest son, and Tiberius Gemellus, the son of Drusus the Younger and grandson of Tiberius, co-heirs.
