for the Mark © I account thus : The ufual Note 
of a Thoufand is cither I between CCs, thus 
03; orelfeX, thus CX3. The former Figure, when 
doled at the Top, exactly refembles an ancient M, 
thus CD ; and the latter, when fhut up, a figure of 
Eight inclined 03 . Borh which Marks have been 
long ufed to exprefs a Thoufand. The latter is the 
Mark before us, the X between CCs, but clofed 
in on all Sides, thus, if this be in Reality

Iter Septentrionale copying an Infcription, wherein 
there was the Mark of four Thoufands, gave us the 
Thoufand inclofed on all Sides, the very Mark in 
our Infcription 5 but upon Mr. Horjlefs Infpeflion 
it turned out to be the fecond Figure, the Thou- 
fand inclos’d only at both Ends thus 00.
