Bat I find Gronoviu^ may be correfted in what he writes in 
the Addenda to the fame Treatife by this Reverfe ; Dubmm 
Hon efl (fays he) / Saxonibus AngHs deleretur ea Fox, ^ttlMxiQ^

he writes juft before, Denarik autem nomen etiam ^tcrlinge^ 
fuijfe, in Continente qua Normmtii imperaiant, oflendunt duo 
rejcripta Pontificum Romanorum in Decrefo Gregorii ; and he 
might well have added, That th^ Uorn/ans borrowed of the 
Franks that Word Sterling, as well as defcriptionem Librae 
per folidos denariojque. But it may be, v/h^nGronoviia writ, 
no Coyn or Monument of Antiquity was then difcovered m 
England that mentioned Sterling before William I. whofe 
Name brings to my mind, that on his Coyn ? is put for W. (n) 
Sir Henry Spelman, in his GlofTary, fpeaks of Sterling and 
Denarius to bethefanie; and he direfts to the Statute made 
An, 1302, 31 Edw.l. wherein the Penny is called Sterling, 
and the weight of the. Sterling is 31 Grains of dried Wheat ; 
( and I have weighed 31. Grains of Wheat, and they arc equal 
to 24 Grains 7>9'- weight, which is our Saxon ^Qmy.) And 
Ann. 1496, 11. Hen.VM* Cap. 5-, there is another Statute 
wherein the Sterling is of the fame weight. 
lam credibly inform'd, fome oi ^Egbert s and Ethelbert's

I hope others more skilful in Antiquities, and that liave 
better advantage by our Records and ancient Hiftories, will 
give a clearer Interpretation of the Words, Chara£fcers, and 
other Circumftaoces relating, to thefe apd otliei* Saxon
