If I understand correctly, the comments are **in the original text**. That's what the translator's note says: > the interlinear comments (IC) and marginal comments (MC) in the original text If something is in the original text, the translator has to translate it. What the translator did is adapt the format to what we're better used to nowadays, and what is easier to print: instead of the comments being on the margins or between lines, they are placed within the text. Such formatting is within the translator's purview.
