Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'A list of (left hand column) ‘g(old) med^ds y^t that are rare [in cipher]’ and (right hand column) ‘Silver med^ds y^t are rare [in cipher]’. The gold column is a list of names from Julius Caesar to Postumus; as well as rare emperors, it includes many empresses and members of the imperial family. Often the names are followed by letters which look like ‘v.g.’, whose significance is not clear, and occasionally with the word ‘none’ (in cipher), strangely twice after M. Antonius and after Agrippina II; again its significance is unclear. The silver column similarly runs from ‘Julius Caesar’ to ‘Corn. Supera’ (the wife of Aemilian, but mistakenly described here as ‘uxor Valeriani Iunioris’). The letters ‘v.g.’ again appear, less frequently, and sometimes we also have ‘comon [in cipher]’, which seems to contradict the ‘rare’ of the heading in a confusing manner.' (Burnett 2020b, p. 767)
