[C] The banquette is about eighteen inches above the pathway at the bottom of the trench. The men stand here when firing or when on guard.—TRANSLATORS’ NOTE.

[F] Literally, “I am gnawing them away.”
[G] Adrian barracks are made in sections, which enables them to be put up or taken down quickly.—TRANSLATOR’S NOTE.
