Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I shoud be extream glad to serve you in any thing you shall me capable of, in these parts, w^ch woud in some measure excuse y^e freedom I take in desiring you to procure for me what medals you can meet w^th. Y^e passion I have for them, has occasiond my being troublesome to persons of all nations, where I have had the least prospect of success. Syria is y^e most fertile place of them, of any I know, & what is more considerable, those y^t were coind there are generally of good use, especially in chronology, having y^e dates of cities upon them. I have not yet met w^th any of y^r city, y^e ancient Ptolemais, tho’ I have large parcells, from M^r Consul Carew, & y^e Rev^d. M^r Owen.' (Royal Society, MS 256/742; Burnett 2020b, p. 13)
