[8] Arabs probably, whites in the estimation of the Portuguese as
compared with the native blacks of Malabar. - E.
[9] This part of the story is very confusedly translated by Lichefild.
According to his relation, in one sense, the admiral alone returned in
his boat for the caravels; while, by another part of his expressions,
the whole boats returned for the admiral and the caravels. - E.
[10] According to Astley, a peace was concluded between the Portuguese
and the zamorin immediately after the victory obtained by the rajah of
Tanore; but this does not agree with the circumstances just related
respecting the destruction of the Moorish fleet in the harbour of
Pandarane, which would hardly have been done during a time of peace - E.
[11] By some strange typographical mistake, Lichefild makes this date
1525, both in the text and in a marginal note, thus adding no less
than twenty years to the true chronology. In Astleys Collection, the
conclusion of this voyage is dated 22d July 1506; but we have chosen
to retain the regular series of dates as given by Castaneda. Owing to
the mistake in Lichefilds translation not being detected till a part
of this chapter was printed off, it has been repeated in our
introduction to this article, which our readers are requested to
correct.
