Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'and particularly Witney within seven Miles of Oxford appears to be of note long before Edward the Confessor's time, as I gather from Roman Coyns lately found there, some of which I have had communicated to me by the Reverend Dr. Ralph Trumbull not long since Rector of that Place. The best of those sent to me is one of impure silver (according to the Custom of that time) in honour of Julia Mammæa, Mother to Alexander Severus.'

(Hearne 1710, p. 99; Burnett 2020b, p. 1550 n. 10)
