Danke
agree Kim Metzger : Or index no. according to Hans-Henning

Danke, aber ich stimme Darien zu, ich glaube nicht, das index no. hier richtig ist
agree Beate Lutzebaeck : Marginal number is standard usage in Anglo-American commentary books and loose-leaf collections. Index No. would actually be quite wrong, as it refers to s.th. else.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks a lot Lydia. Do you know that song from a Marx Brothers movie: "Lydia, Oh Lydia, the encyclopydia..." They could have been singing about you (but I think she was a tatooed lady in the original song)."

Just to corroborate Lydia's answer

This explanation was provided by Han-Henning Judek in the KudoZ glossary.

Rn. = Randnummer

Explanation:
To facilitate the orientation in legal commentary books (like Klein - who was, by the way, one of my teachers at the university), there are running numbers on the border next to the beginning of each paragraph. I would translate it as "index number", or "running number"
