February iii.
We stop this day at Deventer, and put up at a public inn, where we dine with some Danish officers; and after diner I pay a visit to the learned Gisbertus Cuperus, who entertained me very obligingly, shewed me his library, coins, inscriptions, and other curiosities. In his library were several large volumes of letters, written by him in the name of the states, or on other public occasions. Among his coins was one with the title of IMP. VNICVS. And among his inscriptions this which follows:
MACSVSANO HERCVLI SACRVM
FLAVIVS SVMMVS MAGISTRATVS
He seemed to think this was Hercules of Mackshusen, a town not far distant from hence. I continue the following day at Deventer, and from thence write to my freinds at Hamburg.
