Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Sunt etiam apud me numi sex aenei vetustissimi, partim Phoeniciis partim Arabicis literarum notis (longe ante tempora Muhammedica) insigniti: quorum usus fortasse aliquis in dissertatione de Samaritanorum characterum origine esse poterit.' (Boran 2015, vol. 2, pp. 582-7, letter 354; Burnett 2020b, p. 469, 649)

['I also have six very old bronze coins, with marks of letters, partly Phoenician, partly Arabic (far before Mohammed’s times): which perhaps someone could use in a dissertation on the origin of Samaritan characters.' (translation from Burnett 2020b, p. 469)]
