Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

Reports on a hoard of third-century Roman silver coins found near Wallingford in 1699, ‘which may possibly afford some small entertainment to so great a Lover of them, though they add nothing to the large knowledge you have of things of this nature.’ Most of the hoard (‘half a bushell at first found’) had been dispersed, but Ford was able to see ‘a score’, which he described, ranging in date down to Valerian II and Mariniana. Ford also described a coin of Allectus he had seen in Lincoln. Covel had added notes in the margin of the letter, naming the various emperors whose coins were mentioned, presumably for later reference. (Burnett 2020b, p. 587)
