Notes

The limitane settlements of the frontier zone lay behind a protective line of fortresses and pushed forward as an outpost on the line of the other two main routes from the interior. Bu-Ngem was essentially a military station, and it is doubtful as to whether settled life outlasted the formal occupation of the fortress.
