or CUNETTE,** in fortification, is a kind of ditch within a ditch, being a pretty deep trench, about four fathoms broad, sunk and running along the middle of the great dry ditch, to hold water; serving both to keep off the enemy and prevent him from mining.

**CYCLE or Indiction,** is a series of 15 years, returning constantly around like the other cycles, and commenced from the third year before Christ; whence it happens that if 3 be added to any given year of Christ, and the sum be divided by 15, what remains is the year of the indication.
