 1 1|        is necessary to find men, arm them, organize them, train
 2 1|          it is true that I would arm them, captain them, train
 3 1|        others today, and I would arm them, and train them.~COSIMO:
 4 1|          you make? How would you arm them?~FABRIZIO: You pass
 5 2|       once the men are found, to arm them; and in wanting to
 6 2|    covering) and a shield on the arm for their defense. These
 7 2|          carried a shield on the arm, two arms in length and
 8 2|          left side a sword of an arm and a half length, and a
 9 2|        above.~The Greeks did not arm so heavily for defense as
10 2|         it would be necessary to arm the infantry in the same
11 2|         therefore, how you would arm them.~FABRIZIO: I would
12 2|          that time. I believe we arm more securely: so that today
13 2|         throwing, also makes the arm more limber and stronger.
14 2|         are distant at least two arm lengths from each other,
15 2|          to arming them, I would arm them as is presently done,
16 3|         would be a space of four arm lengths which come to occupy
17 3|         of one hundred forty one arm lengths long, and forty
18 3|          the first ones by forty arm lengths, two of which should
19 3|          have a distance of four arm lengths between one another,
20 3|   distant from those three forty arm lengths, and I would place
21 3|         them would be ninety one arm lengths. All of these companies
22 3|        of) one hundred forty one arm lengths long and two hundred
23 3|        left side, distant twenty arm lengths from it, creating
24 3|      them at a distance of forty arm lengths. On the side of
25 3|      distance of a hundred fifty arm lengths away. Behind these,
26 3|          five hundred and eleven arm lengths long and as much
27 3|       would be about one hundred arm lengths. The other Battalions
28 3|         having a space of thirty arm lengths between our battalions
29 3|        created intervals of four arm lengths between one company
30 3|       because the pikes are nine arm lengths long and an arm
31 3|          arm lengths long and an arm length and a half is occupied
32 3|     whence only seven and a half arm lengths of the pike remain
33 3|        hand occupies, uses up an arm’s length of the space that
34 3|       next; so that not even six arm lengths of pike remain of
35 3|         remain four and one half arm lengths to the third rank,
36 5|     whose hollow was two hundred arm lengths on every side in
37 5|      other by two hundred twelve arm lengths, and would place
38 5|    distant from each other three arm lengths; these would occupy
39 5|        occupying (a space) forty arm lengths by two hundred twelve
40 5|    lengths by two hundred twelve arm lengths. Between the front
41 5|        an interval (gap) of four arm lengths: one of which should
42 5|      other is two hundred twelve arm lengths, and these companies
43 5|          one hundred thirty four arm lengths, (and) there would
44 5| remaining space of seventy eight arm lengths, and a similar space
45 5|       the space of seventy eight arm lengths in front, I would
46 5|     should be two hundred twelve arm lengths on every side, I
47 5|    occupy two hundred eighty two arm lengths of space on the
48 5|     three approach them at forty arm lengths with equal intervals
49 5|     behind distant another forty arm lengths. This formation
50 6|       face distant from it fifty arm lengths, of which each should
51 6|         six hundred eighty (680) arm lengths. I would also run
52 6|          each of them by fifteen arm lengths, at the extremity
53 6|   Captain, which would be thirty arm lengths in width and six
54 6|      quarters would occupy fifty arm lengths)) and call this
55 6|         two hundred fifty (1250) arm lengths long ((since it
56 6|  encampment)) and also be thirty arm lengths wide and be called
57 6|        leaving a space of thirty arm lengths between the sixteenth
58 6|        the Heads should be forty arm lengths wide and ten arm
59 6|         arm lengths wide and ten arm lengths long. And it is
60 6|    men-at-arms should be fifteen arm lengths long and thirty
61 6|       there is a space of thirty arm lengths to make a transverse
62 6|          which should be fifteen arm lengths long and thirty
63 6|        would have a space twenty arm lengths in width and ten
64 6|     cavalry, with a space of ten arm lengths long and twenty
65 6|          sides a space of thirty arm lengths to make a road,
66 6|          another space of thirty arm lengths to create a road
67 6|         infantry, distant thirty arm lengths from each other,
68 6|      want a space of one hundred arm lengths all around left
69 6|          there are seven hundred arm lengths. There remains to
70 6|        hundred thirty five (635) arm lengths. I then subtract
71 6|       each of these spaces fifty arm lengths which the quarters
72 6|         occupies, and forty five arm lengths of plaza which I
73 6|         to each side, and thirty arm lengths of road, which divides
74 6|        the middle, and a hundred arm lengths which are left on
75 6|        for quarters four hundred arm lengths wide and a hundred
76 6|     Captain forty quarters fifty arm lengths long and twenty
77 6|       would create a road thirty arm lengths wide from north
78 6|       the west gate, also thirty arm lengths wide, and corresponding
79 6|          it a hundred twenty one arm lengths per side. And from
80 6|       which would take up twelve arm lengths in length and thirty
81 6|   leaving the space of a hundred arm lengths from those (quarters)
82 6|      which would be seventy five arm lengths long and sixty in
83 6|         would be allowed fifteen arm lengths for length and thirty
84 6|       then a space of thirty one arm lengths, I would place another
85 6|         each distant one hundred arm lengths from the ditches,
86 6|         not be more than fifteen arm lengths of space)) in which
87 6|     these roads should be thirty arm lengths wide. And I would
88 6|        made all the roads thirty arm lengths wide, so that a
89 6|       were twenty five to thirty arm lengths wide. The space
90 6|     quarters, which is a hundred arm lengths wide, is necessary,
91 6|         ditch and ordinarily six arm lengths wide and three deep,
92 7|          and not less than three arm lengths wide, to make it
93 7|         intervals of two hundred arm lengths. The ditch inside
94 7|      ought to be at least thirty arm lengths wide and twelve
95 7|         ditch, every two hundred arm lengths, there should be
96 7|     battlements were made a half arm length thin (wide), the
97 7|       being hit, at least thirty arm lengths wide, and throw
98 7|   excavated at least five or six arm lengths deep. While this
