nally fixed watches ; the first watchman will again take 

 the last watch, and each of the others will take the 

 watch of his predecessor.

first and last watch ; the second watchman and the 

 others should in due order obtain on the second day, 

 &c, the watch of the first watchman.

men, or on some occasions having seen that the work

330. The watchman should be told what is to be guarded, 



and what is to be communicated ; all should be before 

 his eyes, and the watchman should do it accordingly.
