Moulton, with the other things; your conjecture was right that this was a larin, and some thereof might bee coyned by Sha Ismael, in Persia; butt it is properly an Arabian kind of money, and so sett downe by Tavernier, in the figures of the coynes of Asia, where hee discribeth and setts downe the figures of the larin and half larin. The larin justly answereth that you sent, hee sayeth five larins want eight souls of our crowne. This is that which the emirs and princes of Arabia take for the coynage of their money, and the profitt which they make by the marchands which travell through the desert into Persia or the Indies, for then the emirs come to the caravan to take their tolls and to change their realls, crownes, and ducates of gold into larins. The larins are one of the ancient coynes of Asia, and though at this day they are only currant in Arabia and at Balsara, neverthelesse from Braydal to the island of Ceylon, they traffick altogether with larins, and all along the Persian gulf. ''Taverniers Travells, second part, page one and two''. Tis the oddest shaped coyne that Tavernier hath in all his figures, and better to bee taken in a good summe by wayght then tale, his figure hath one foot a litle shorter then the other as yours hath.'
