In the third division, the elephants and their controllers (trainers ?); in the fourth, mercenaries and their leaders, and forest-fighters of the mitrāmitra nature with their heads. The traders and the public women should be settled along the great road (boulevard ?)". This reading seems to be more faithful and appropriate.
