Discover LudwigThe phrase "corps about" is not a grammatically correct construction in written English.
It is possible that it is a typo or a mistranslation, and it is not commonly used or recognized as a proper phrase. One possible use of "corps about" could be in a military context, where "corps" refers to a group of soldiers or units, and "about" means "surrounding" or "nearby." In this case, a sentence could be "The enemy corps about our base made it difficult for us to secure the perimeter." However, this use is not standard and it would be clearer to rephrase the sentence as "The enemy corps near our base made it difficult for us to secure the perimeter."
