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:

and some more here:
