Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Antiquities in gold and silver, of the antient Greeks, from Alexander downward, and many Romans more antient, are here to be gathered; butt so deare, by reason the last French ambassador made great search, and some Italians are ready to buy, that I know not whether your lordship will esteeme them at such rates. The meddles of gold, or olde quoyne, if they bee faire, and the inscriptions ledgible, are held at twice and thrice the waight. Some, for curiosity, I haue bought, with others pretended to be Aegiptian, Armenian, and Arabian: but my skill is not great, I iudge only by the eye; these shall serve your lordship, if you like them.' (Roe 1740, p. 154; Burnett 2020b, p. 357)
