Grand documentOriginal passage from the "Grand document".

'Mr Elstob and I went to see Mr Stonestreet; who entertained very obligeingly with Remarks on Mezzobarba, &c. The Enlargements that Author has made on Occo (though the best Collection on the Subject) have many many Mistakes, through the misinformations he had from others; But where his Additions are from his own Musaeum (marked with M.N.) they may certainly be relyed on. Monsieur Masson (a French Gentleman, at Oxford), is correcting this work; and in due time, will considerably improve it. The roman coinage in greatest Perfection about the time of Adrian.'

(Jones - Holmes 1985, pp. 189-90; Burnett 2020b, pp. 898-9 n. 128, 984, 1226)
