Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Yours of April 28 taught me about the medals of which you spoke in your preceding [letter]. You clearly see my ignorance in this kind of study from the questions that I ask you, but as we have lighted upon the matter permit me to ask you: Why did the Jews and the Syrians retain the Syrian order in the arrangement of numeral letters when they used Greek inscriptions and Greek characters to indicate time?' (English translation from Minc 1985, pp. 115)
