As for the way which I proposed to myself to go in and out (for I left no avenue), it was by setting two ladders, one to a part of the rock which was low, and then broke in, and left room to place another ladder upon that; so when the two ladders were taken down no man living could come down to me without doing himself mischief; and if they had come down, they were still on the outside of my outer wall.
Con la primera pasaba a un lugar donde la roca era más baja y podía colocar la segunda escalera. Cuando retiraba ambas, era imposible que un hombre viniera detrás de mí sin hacerse daño y, en caso de que pudiese entrar, se hallaría aún fuera de mi muralla exterior.
