His main point is to argue that the purse was too heavy and bulky to be carried in their clothing, none of which was adapted for carrying a purse. It was obviously carried by the appropriate slave, i.e., the home steward in charge of the buying. He lists the categories of household slaves. He instances Judas Iscariot as carrying the purse and that it contained other things besides money. Mercury as negociator Deorum is graven on medals as a beardless youth with wings on his shoulders, a purse in his left hand and a cock on his fist. He considers also Tityrus, etched here as a poor goat herd. He ends with mention of his collapse and remedies applied. (Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Add. C. 244 pp. 348-349). 11736 MS Add.
