Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".
'[A long discussion of ancient coins & weights] ... And I beg the Favour of you, when you can spare Time, to fend me the precise Weight of your 8th Number, and likewise as many or the Greek Staters and Drachmæ and the Family, or Consular Denarii, and also the Aureus and Denarius of Tiberius N. 98, 99. if they hold out their full Weight. As to the later Gold Coins after Constantine the Great, I am not so curious to enquire after them, Mr. Greaves having collected a great many of them to my Hand, and given us the best he could meet with in Italy, and their several Weights in Grains;' (Smith 1729, pp. 14-29; Burnett 2020b, p. 503)
