Fantastic fragment!  Much larger than what you usually find.  Nice to get such a large chunk of text including the unit.

Dear coin friends,

I wanted to let you know through this way that I will be selling my Hadrian collection.
In all those 10 years I have learned a lot and made interesting contacts online and in real life.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to complete this collection, I went too wide. With this great hobby coming to an end, I would like to thank you all very much for the many educational moments, here at https://www.forumancientcoins.com/

Hi Erik,

I am sorry to hear that your important collection will be dispersed.

I remember writing here many years ago that I, too, thought Hadrian would be a good alternative to the Flavians, but that I considered his coinage simply too vast to address with any pretense of completeness.

For my part I continue to grow my collection with undiminished passion.

Best wishes

Alberto

Good luck with the sale, hope prices are strong!  I was already outbid on one coin of yours that I had placed a bid.

I really enjoyed taking a close look through this collection as it was going to auction. Especially seeing how many of the coins contributed to the numismatic literature, either while in the ETB collection (to RPC & RIC, among other publications) or in past collections (e.g., Dattari, about a half dozen illustrated in the 1901 photographic plates, and at least 96 in the 2007 Dattari-Savio rubbings).

I hope that the galleries remain here for reference. (Even better, it would be nice if Leu or someone also produces a print or PDF catalog!)

I was glad to get a couple of Alexandrian coins from the sale. For reference, I've just added an ETB Collection entry to the "Provenance Glossary" on my collection site (I'd be glad to know of any corrections/suggestions from anyone): LINK (alphabetically under "Brink").

As I've said, I think of a collection (at least a serious one) as a piece of literature in its own right, with the same properties as any other artistic/scientific project. I enjoy seeing how coins move from one collection and publication into another over the generations, and this collection was particularly rich in such material. So, while it's bittersweet to see a major collection dispersed, I'll be watching to see what tributaries its contents flow into, and how they contribute, moving forward.
