Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I have made a considerable addition to my medals & gold some from Tangiers I sake. I have one that was sent from far off, it shes on one side an Cæ & the sun & moon on the other an ear of corn with the following letters BAILO. I am very apt to believe it belongs to that city wich Ptolemy calls Βαιλωγ & the other ancient Geographers/ Belo & Bælone/ I am assured by several persons of very good credit that two leagues & a half to the Westward of Sariff, directly opposite to Tangier, there are very considerable coins, wch the country people there Conts call Bolonia. … I have employed several persons at Tangiers Seville & Cadiz to buy medals or any stones with Roman inscription I have also wyth some by me.' (BL, Sloane MS 4044, ff.268-70; Burnett 2020b, p. 1274 n. 942)
