Diary of Simonds D'Ewes, 25 July 1645: "Ego pomeridiano cu' Samuele Ropero ut lustrarem lectissima Nathanael Halli Numismata Romana et Graeca aenea & argenta tempus no' permisit ut conspicerem." [in the afternoon I was with Samuel Roper to look through the very choice Greek and Roman coins in bronze and silver belonging to Nathaniel Hall, [but] time did not allow me to look at them closely.] (BL MS Harley 484, f.15r; Burnett 2020b, p. 1188 n. 62)
