[304] The quondam marines (cp. i. [6], &c.).
[305] From Lower Germany (cp. i. [55] and [61]).
[306] From Pannonia (cp. chap. [24]).
[307] Only a detachment of the Fourteenth was present at this battle, as is explained below, chap. [66].
[308] The camp-prefect (chap. [29]). The Batavians are the detachment which had left the Fourteenth (chap. [27]).

[310] The fixing of this distance rests on the doubtful figures in chap. [39]. In any case it must have been between fourteen and twenty miles.

[312] He had remained behind in camp (cp. chap. [33]).
[313] i.e. other than the Guards.
