其之 what's the exact meaning of this?


I'm translating a comic and I found this kanji combination on the headers.
It's like a counter for pages.

> 其之一  
>  其之二  
>  etc.

その is the reading. I wanted to get more info about that but I didn't find
anything via google. Is that somehow familiar to you or is this way how it's
written just really old?




其之 is a rare kanji version of その meaning "its". The kanji 其 on its own means
"it" and 之 means "～'s". Today その is almost always written in kana, but they
used difficult kanji for archaism. Is the comic about ninja or something?

その is usually used as an old counter-like prefix for chapters/episodes/parts
of a story, not pages. For example その5 typically means "episode 5" or "part
5", not "page 5".
