Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I congratulate you on the head of Oriuna; in return, I nust communicate to you two very valuable presents I have ately had in your way — the one a gold coin of the Emperor Arcadius, the reverse VICTORIA : AUG., the other a Roman ring — I cornelian set in silver, with a Sagittarius. It has been broke, but I have repaired the breach by gumming a peice of thin leather on the inside, which has restored it to its former shape. I have likewise a silver Gallien, the reverse PRÆTOR: RECEPTUS, which I imagine to be scarce. I have made a large addition to my coins, but imagine there are none very curious.'

(Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 1 p. 482)
