Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Alexander, iuuenis longe candidissimus, reddidit mihi tuas literas exoptatissimas, vna cum duobus nomismatis, optimi Principis tui viuam imaginem nobis referentibus. Quo sane dono magis sum exhilaratus quam si mihi misisset auri talentum Atticum. Ille se mihi inisit argenteum et aureum, ego me vicissim illi mitto aereum. Viriusque meritis respondet materia. Quid enim in isto Principe non aureum?' (Allen et al. 1906-1958, vol. 4, pp. 297-8, letter 1119)

[Alexander, as promising a young man as one could find, has given me your most welcome letter, together with two medals which bring back to me a lively image of your excellent prince. Such a present has raised my spirits more than if he had sent me an Attic talent of gold. He has sent me himself in silver and gold, and I reply with my own image in bronze. Each of us is done in the material he deserves. What is there in that prince of yours that is not golden?] (translation from Mynors - Bietenholz 1987, pp. 323-4, letter 1119)
