The said Bagg contains 4. Smaller Baggs of Medalls, those in the Two Canvas Baggs are those I collected Smyrna assisted by Doctr. Picinini who came from Sm^a to England with Me. Doct^r. Sherard [who] was then our Consul at Smyrna he had very good judgement In Medalls, & said these were some very Excellent Medalls amongst them naming Severall all which I have forgot [&?] [got?] Piscnnius Niger whether Doctr. Woodward was a judge of Medalls I know not but he ralliyed those in the [?] Canvass Baggs at [Lzio?]: Those in the Two yellow [Buckeoni?] Baggs I Collected from antioch [were?] adjacaent to aleppo: amongst Them are fortee very good Medalls, & some of small value Noe Body has seen those but Doctr.
