Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I am likewise obliged to you ... particularly for the Account of your Gold Allectus, w^ch, indeed, is a very great Rarity. Yet we have one of the same in Bodley, where there are also some other Coyns of Allectus, tho’ perhaps different from the rest w^ch you tell me you have, w^ch therefore I should be glad to have an Account of, provided your Leisure will permit. ’Twould be withall a great Satisfaction to understand whether all or any of these Coys you have of Carausius and Allectus were found in Britain, and, if so, in what part, and whether any other Antiquities discovered with them.'

(Hearne 1885, vol. 4, pp. 306-7; Burnett 2020b, p. 1613)
