Hi Sue,

It is a strange way of writing a pattern. If this is for an arm edge, then I would assume that each number represents numbers of sts to be decreased at the arm edge.
For example, you'll do 5 sts decrease at the beginning, then the next decrease will be 4, then, 3 and so forth. It probably needs to be done on the right side.

That's how I would do it.

Thanks for the question and have fun knitting!
