Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'I acknowledge the favor of yours, and am sorry none of my small collection are worth your acceptance, no gentleman being more welcome to anything of that nature in my possession than Mr. Gale. ... Happening the other day to look over some Welsh accounts I met with another small thick copper coin of Gordian ΑΥΤΟΡΚ ΜΑΝΤ ΓΟΡΔΙ reverse, ΑΒΓΑΡΟΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ. The good man in half length, such as it is, with a cap on his head, not unlike honest Dick Baxter, of Kidderminster, I suppose the same that assisted Gordian with his archers against the Persians, for I find he made such an expedition; you may freely command it. The 4 consular medals, and that of Claudius’s apotheosis, I lately purchased for a guinea.'
