Editor:
1) 旋繞
"to cower" is very wrong! It means "crouch down in fear". Miles was probably aiming for "to cow", which is almost the opposite in meaning: "cause (someone) to submit to one's wishes by intimidation".

2) 密文
a) It's "encoded text" rather than "coded text".
b) "cypher" is British spelling for "cipher".
c) "Cipher" is wrong. A cipher is a *method* of encoding text, whereas 密文 is a *text* created by applying a cipher (i.e. ciphertext).
