Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'I do not doubt you have since rec^d mine, with a Catalogue enclosd of 147 medals more; as many as were Legible to me; tho’, not unlikely, many more may be so to you, & as valuable as any of the rest: so shall not trouble you w^th the Contents of that Letter.
...
I cannot but be pleasd y^t my Acc^t of the 50 medals was so full & Satisfactory; & I hope That of the others will prove as Agreeable. No. 22 ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΤΙΓΡΑΝΟΥΣ is a very legible medal, & entirely corresponds w^th my Descriptⁿ of It. Chillis [modern Kilis] is ab^t 9 hours from Alep, at the rate of 3 miles an hour, & lyes to the north; It is a large Village, but has no Antient name y^t I can learn. I have endeavord very much to get a sight of several parcels of medals there, & at Antab [modern Gaziantep], 15 hours further & w^thin 12 hours of Euphrates; its Antient name, Antiochia ad Tauru’ mont. But this I must despair of, w^thout making a voyage thither myself, w^ch I am inclind to on a good opportunity, & do not intend to return re Infecta; so It may not be amiss to send me a bill in y^r next, for such a sum as you think proper; & you may depend on my utmost Caution & fidelity for y^r Service. '
