Footnotes
A note is a string of text placed at the bottom of a page in a book or document or at the end of a chapter, volume, or the whole text. The note can provide an author's comments on the main text or citations of a reference work in support of the text.

In some editions of the Bible, notes are placed in a narrow column in the middle of each page between two columns of biblical text.
