 Translation
Kai is mountainous country with a small population and little good farmland, and has no access to the ocean.
Thus, castles were not needed within the borders of Kai; the warriors were the castles, the stone walls, and the builders of Kai.
The phrase 'The soldiers are the castles of Kai' is more naturally an extension of Shingen's policy of staying on the offensive and attacking other provinces, as opposed to an expression of pride or affection for his men.

Gregory of Nyssa in his sermons on the forty martyrs, after describing how their bodies were burned by command of the persecutors, explains that "their ashes and all that the fire had spared have been so distributed throughout the world that almost every province has had its share of the blessing.
It seems to have been felt that when the souls of the blessed martyrs on the day of general were once more united to their bodies, they would be accompanied in their passage to heaven by those who lay around them and that these last might on their account find more ready acceptance with God.

Vladeta Jankovic told B92 that there had not been time for a close examination of UN envoy Kai Eide’s report on the implementation of standards in Serbia’s southern province but that a first reading indicated that it listed all instances of standards not being met.
Jankovic says that from Serbia’s point of view Eide could have been more thorough and sharper in his assessment but that from what he has observed, the conclusion that talks should begin immediately is surprising.
Belgrade: Security is deteriorating in Serbia's southern province while Kai Eide, who is in charge of assessing the fulfilment of standards in Kosovo and Metohija, makes his latest diplomatic tour prior to submitting a report to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, probably on Monday [3 October].
