Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Thanking him for the letters brought by Signor Spataro, who has also delivered to him, on his Highness' behalf, thirty silver coins, which, being antique and ancient are most welcome to him. Their engraved effigies shall sooner be worn away than the memory of such benefits and tokens of friendship shall fade from his mind.' (summary from Lomas 1913, p. 239)
