'Mr Dyer of Oriel Coll. told me yesterday that Dr Wm Sherard had six Brass large Othos. Quaere whether he hath them still. He said Dr Sherard is the greatest Botanist in the World. He said that Dr Sherard understands Greek Coyns well, but not Latin ones.' (Hearne 1885, vol. 7, p. 172; Burnett 2020b, p. 614 n. 366)
