In the Reverse Interlinear: what are these?

On the manuscript row, what do the arrow & number mean?

Also to make sure i understand, the other arrows which point to a word: mean that an extra English word was needed to translate the meaning of the Greek word. Right?

Also on the surface text row when we see a large dot, this indicates that a Greek word was not useful/needed for the translation. Right?

1. the arrow with the number means that the English text corresponds to the Greek word with the "5" subscript in that verse...

2. the arrow pointing forward (or back) means that the entire phrase or group of words was translated from that one Greek word (mainly because Greek verbs include person, number, gender, mood, etc.)

3. for the dot in the English text, it means that the Greek word wasn't directly translated into English

There were was a four part series on the Logos blog back in 2006 that explained the symbols used in the ESV Reverse Interlinear, which I believe is still applicable. They can be found on the blog at the links below:

Reverse Interlinear I

Reverse Interlinear II
