I got a question on notation. I have this Bach flute piece and the continuo I want to transcribe for guitar, but I'm not sure what the notation is telling me.

My question is about the numbers beneath the continuo part, are those chords?

Re: Question about Music Notation
The numbers are what is known as figured bass. See this link for a description/explanation:
