page 995 note 5 This may represent ‘ Malū Khān’ (the son of Ismāīl), or possibly the person intended may be the ‘ Mealecan’ referred to below.
page 996 note 1 Mr. Beveridge has fallen into an error in saying that “ Mr. Whiteway refers to Briggs' translation of Ferishta ”: the reference to Ferishta is Yule's.
page 996 note 2 Mr. David Lopes, on p. lvii of the introduction to his Chronica dos Reis de Bisnaya, supports Barros in this matter against Couto.
page 996 note 3 See also Rise of Port. Power in India, pp. 133–4, note, where Mr. Whiteway states that Couto “says that the Sabaio was a Hindu chief in Kanara, whose sons he knew personally. These sons laughed heartily when Couto read them Barros's derivation of the word Sabaio; their father, they said, was neither a Turk nor a Yusaf.”
