I have a hard copy on my desk. Cesti is ordered by alphabetical sections such as D7, F69, etc. I can quote the passage for you if you can give me the exact section?

Is this the section about the 'dioptra' measuring device, mentioned in Milner's note to Vegetius IV.30? (Milner has the reference 'Cest 1.15)
I think the correct reference is Kestos or Kestoi 7, I.15 (alternatively 'F12 of the 7th Cestus'). It looks like there's a section of it in translation here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ONSP...22&f=false and some more here: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=9Ngk...22&f=false

Got it - thanks, chaps! It is F12, the Seventh Cestus, 15, page 75-81: 'To Find the Width of a River and the Height of a Wall'. Do you need the whole section? If so, I can take pics and convert it into a rough pdf and email it over.
