Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Inclusum hunc Tiberii Imperatoris aureum, indubiae vetustatis Numum, non compensationis vice, sed grati duntaxat animi ergo, tibi destinatum inter tua reponere dignator cimelia' [I think it fitting to have included this gold aureus of the emperor Tiberius, a coin of undoubted antiquity, not instead of payment but because of a truly grateful mind, destined to lie among your treasures] (BL, Add. MS 32093, f.270; Burnett 2020b, p. 281)
