Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

-Lettre du 25 novembre 1739 (de Contantinople) : « J'ai receu le 20e novembre la lettre dont il vous a pleu m'honnorer le 9 septembre dernier. J'avois creu que M. Peyssonnel, à son arrivée de deux cents lieues, se trouveroit chargé de belles et bonnes médailles; rien moins que cela, un médaillon d'argent de Dioclétien est la seule pièce remarquable qu'il ait trouvée. […] Il ne faut plus compter de trouver ici des belles pierres du premier beau; elles tombent entre les mains des semi-connaisseurs, qui en demandent des prix extravagants. L'empreinte cy-jointe donnera du poids à ce que j'avance. La pierre de cette empreinte est entre les mains d'un Grec, auquel j'en avois offert 10 piastres, ou 30tt monnoye de France, est veneu le sieur Escott, milord anglais, qui en a offert 60 ; il ne l'a peu avoir, le propriétaire en demande 90tt, où est le fou pour les donner? » (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, Ms. Nouv. Acq. Franç. 6834, f° 126-127 ; Omont 1902, p. 699-700).
