Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'In pago quodam exiguo Lincolniensis agri, cui a parva arce, quae ibi a Romanis quondam extructa fuit, Littleburg nomen mansit, numismata aliquot aerea bonae notae sorte fortuna nactus sum; Rustici incolae suillam pecuniam ibi vocant, quippe plerunque a suibus erutam. Spero me plura, etiam argentea, inde accepturum.' (Burman 1727, vol. 3, pp. 743-4, letter 32; Dekker 1999, p. 78; Burnett 2020b, p. 938)

['In a little village in Lincolnshire [now Nottinghamshire], which was still called Littleburgh from the small fort which had been once built there by the Romans, I was very lucky to acquire some bronze coins of a good type. The country natives there call them ‘pig money,’ since they are often dug up by pigs. I hope that I will get more from there, and some silver ones' (English translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 938)]
