Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'The letter is concerned with the chronology of the Seleucid era, starting from a coin of Antioch dated ЄΤΟΥΣ ΖΟΡ with the letter Γ. The coin of Antioch is described and a drawing is attached (f.234), together with a drawing of the coin of Cadi, although the latter was not mentioned in the letter. Presumably the Antioch coin was also in Covel’s possession.' (Burnett 2020b, p. 588)

RemarksRemarks regarding the annotation. (en)

The coin of Cadi is now in the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. (en)
