Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'Your Glamorganshire Coin is not singular in Countenanceing my Conjecture; with its foramen ad trajiciendum funiculum, as Bartholine expresses it. (My Lord AB of York has others of ye same kind.) Nor is my Opinion grounded on yt single Authority. For, besides ye Men he quotes to shew yt ye Amulets of ye Antients carry’d Monstrosi alicujus Animalis aut Dei sculpturam, I find a deal of encouragmt in it from ye Account given of ye old Talismath and Άβραξαἱ in Mr Selden’s Dissertations (de Dijs Syris) and Scaliger’s Epistles. One of ye Archbishops (wch His Grace took to be Cunobeline’s; bearing Cuno, as ’twas guess’d) I take to be (of ye same complexion wtth Demetrius’s ναοἱ άργυροἱ) a piece coin’d in honour of Juno, and thought to secure ye protection of ye Goddess to any yt wore it about him.'
(Bodleian Library, MS Ashmole 1816, f.492; Burnett 2020b, p. 1554)
