How do I designate the footnotes that are mine inside a quote?

I tried "our note", "note ours" and "remark is ours". Which one is the correct one and most commonly used? Or is there some other way?

For example:

    He provides an argument for it:
       "Before the Greeks, the ancient Egyptians 
       used it[1] in the construction of their great pyramids."
    
    ------
    [1] The Golden Section - note ours. <-- this is MY (drozzy's) note, not the original author's 

So you can see there is my note inside a quote.

Or if I have something without a footnote.

    He provides an argument for it:
    
       "Before the Greeks, the ancient Egyptians 
       used it (Golden Section - note ours) in
       the construction of their great pyramids."

Note where I use **note ours** , to clarify that **it** is a **Golden Section**.

Any help appreciated.
