Letter 0517

From the Masters Lodgings at University Coll. August.9.1698 Honored Sir I delivered the brass coin to Dr Hyde, and told him it came from you, to whom he will send the explieation of it, if any thin can be picked out. He is trying what he can do with a coin of Tangro- lipix, the first Sultan of the Turks in Persia, which he has an ill fasi- on’d Head, and on the reverse a plain Inscription, which the Dr says is in Syriak letters, but I am afraid there will be no great discoveries. I humbly thank you, sir, for your many and great favours to me which I shall never forget, nor refuse to serve you in any thing that lies in my power. Accordingly, I have bought you the follow- ing books in the late Auction, which come to 14s. which Mr Sare at Gracies Inn Gate, to whom I have sent them, will receive. Had not the Auction been generally very dear, you might have ex- pected more, from Honored Sir, d s p Agliamb.  0.9.6.
