Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I have since seen the Treasure of the Emperour, and will set down the names of some few amongst the many and rich curiosities. I got means to see them of my own accorde though since \ye /// that learned worthy person Lambecius the Emperours library keeper would have assisted me in getting leave to see them, he having done me the honour to speake of me to the Emperour, and shew him the coynes and inscription which I presented to the library, the Inscription being not in Gruterus, and the coynes at Sene or Apollonia the village having \ been/ tributary to the Turckes this hundred yeares, by very few taken notice of.' (London, British Library, Sloane MS 1911, ff.31-2; Burnett 2020b, pp. 749-50)
