Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Hinc inde numismata antiqua occurrunt, quae explicuit Seldenus. In ijs Allecti nummus conspicitur triremi insignitus. Unde liquet triremem in aversa parte ideo positam fuisse, quod maris Britannici imperium usurpasset Allectus. Idem & de alijs nummis observandum, ac praecipue de illo plane rarissimo quem olim possidebat D. Sykes collegij SS. Trintatis Oxon. praefectus, in Archivis Bodlejanis reposito. Ibi CEA in parte antica legitur, pro CAE, ni fallor; & in parte postica triremis visitur, quam victoriam aliquam, ab historicis, qui supersunt, non memoratum denotare conjecerat cl. DODWELL. Male autem vir doctissimus. Nam ad maris dominium spectare e Seldeno satis manifestum.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 2, pp. 303-4; Burnett 2020b, p. 289)

['Herein ancient coins are found, which Selden explained. Among them a coin of Allectus can be seen engraved with a trireme. It is clear from this that the trireme was placed on the reverse part of the coin, because Allectus had usurped the command of the British sea. The same can be observed from other coins, and especially from that really rare one that Mr Sykes, the head of Trinity College, Oxford, once possessed, and which is now held in the Bodleian archives. On that one CEA can be read instead of CAE, and on the reverse a trireme is to be seen, which Dodwell suggested was a reference to some victory which the surviving historians have not mentioned. But the learned man was wrong. For that it refers to command of the sea is clear enough from Selden.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, pp. 289-90)]
