Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Longius evectus, ASCHAME, sum quam volebam; excitatus epistola tua. In qua jucundius mihi fuit regis atque sororis laudes cognoscere, tametsi, eas ante a multis audiveram: quam accipere CAIUM CAESAREM quem antehac non ita in nummis videram. Sed tamen gratum munus, et quia a te missum est; et quia vetustum, et quia ejus imago, qui cum fortissimis et peritissimis et fortunatissimis imperatoribus belli gloria potest comparari.'

[Excited by your letter, my Ascham, I have been carried away more than I intended. Although I had heard before from many people about your King and his sister, I took more pleasure in learning their glories than in receiving Caius Caesar, whom I had not previously seen in this way upon coins. Still, I’m grateful for the gift because it came from you and because of its age and because it bears the image of one who with respect to glory in war can be compared with the most courageous, the most skillful, and the most fortunate of generals.]
