Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'As to my Otho, I am really persuaded that if it be a false one, it is at least as old as the time of Valentinian, being found with fome of his and other coins; besides, it appears most demonstratively that the draft of a Paduan I have is copied from it, or one of the same kind. This appears plainly from the distance of the letters. That medal with S. C. in a laurel is certainly the most authentic; but Monsieur Patin acknowledges one smaller of bronze, with the Adlocutio to be ancient likewise. This is no doubt the very coin I have got.' (Nichols 1781-1790, pp. 462-3; Lukis 1882-1887, vol. 3, p. 231-2; Burnett 2020b, p. 398)
