16 2|          ordinary Veliti, and five hundred extraordinary Veliti: thus
17 2|         would be one thousand five hundred Heads of Ten, and in addition
18 2|           ought to consist of four hundred heavily armed infantry,
19 2|            front with six or eight hundred infantry, so that the doubling

21 2|       first and last file of every hundred of Heads of Ten; the Constable
22 2|            the middle of the first hundred (century) of shield-bearers;
23 2|       should occur that these four hundred fifty infantry have to operate
24 2|     extraordinary pikemen and four hundred extraordinary Veliti. Would
25 2|           have not less than three hundred effective cavalry for each
26 2|          of which I would want one hundred fifty to be men-at-arms,
27 2|           to be men-at-arms, and a hundred fifty light cavalry; and
28 3|     Citizens, which consist of six hundred cavalry and about eleven
