| IV. | Theorem 3. Of Exterior Triangular Solids. In this context, "solids" refers to the three-dimensional geometric shapes used to model the volume of earthworks. | 122 |
| V. | Theorem 4. Of Interior Triangular Solids. | 124 |
| General Table of Triangular Solids. | 126 | |
| VI. | Stereometric calculation of a Redoubt. Stereometric: Relating to the measurement of the volume of three-dimensional bodies. | 126 |
| VII. | Stereometric calculation of Star Forts. | 127 |
| VIII. | Stereometric calculation of Forts with Half-Bastions. original: "Demis Boulevards" - The term "boulevard" was frequently used in the 17th century to mean a bastion. | 128 |
| Stereometric Table for small works. | 131 | |
| IX. | The Stereometric Calculation of Quadrantal or Half-Forts. "Quadrantal" refers to a fort layout based on a ninety-degree arc or square shape. | 131 |
| Stereometric Table for Quadrantal & Half-Forts. | 136 | |
| X. | The stereometric calculation of a Dodrantal Fort: in the same manner as one will also perform the calculation regarding Royal Forts & Fortresses. "Dodrantal" refers to a fort layout based on three-quarters of a circle or a specific proportion of the whole. | 137 |

| XVI. | Design of a Gate, for small works. original: "Invention" - In early engineering, this refers to the technical design or architectural plan. | 167 |
| XVII. | Design of a Gate for Quadrantal & Half-Forts. | 168 |
| XVIII. | Design of a Gate for Dodrantal & Royal Forts. | 168 |
| XIX. | Design of a Gate for Fortresses. | 168 |
| XX. | The manner of calculating the content or volume of the empty space which is filled by the construction of the gate. original: "Solidité" - Here used to mean "volume." The author is calculating how much embankment volume is lost when a gate is built into a rampart. | 170 |
| XXI. | Example of a Drawbridge. | 178 |
| XXII. | Other constructions to properly secure the Gates. | 179 |
| XXIII. | Examples of a large Guardhouse; & of a Sentry Box. | 180 |
| XXIV. | The calculation of common Volume, or of the required earth. | 182 |

| XXVI. | First use of stereometric calculation; how one can calculate the Expenses. | 183 |
| XXVII. | How one may conceive the time which must be employed for a work, given the number of workers, etc. | 184 |
| XXVIII. | Given the time in which a Work must be finished, how to find the number of workers required for it. | 184 |
| XXIX. | The manner of making the Ditch, so that the earth removed from the said ditch is sufficient to complete the work, etc. This refers to the "balance of earthwork," ensuring the soil dug out of the moat is exactly enough to build the ramparts without needing to transport extra soil from elsewhere. | 184 |
