Brief Account

Of the journey of His Excellency the Bishop of Muidum from the City of Malão to his bishopric

On 18th of Leb (Segou), in the city of Malão, in the year 1745, on 15 September: Sellenão set out accompanied by a small number of devout followers, having resolved to undertake the journey. The route ahead was known to be arduous and fraught with difficulty; yet, upon reconsideration, he delayed his departure, being reluctant to proceed without proper preparation. Sellenão could not disregard sound counsel, especially given the limited continuity of Christian presence in that region, which had already caused considerable concern. Moreover, due to numerous other reasons—no less perilous than the former—it was deemed advisable to postpone the undertaking for a time, until more precise intelligence could be obtained regarding the state of affairs, both major and minor, within his diocese.

Observing the extensive movement of people and the direction of travel beyond Malão, he was able to anticipate potential challenges from afar and make necessary provisions for what promised to be an extremely difficult entry into China. He promptly issued a pastoral letter together with a missive addressed to Dom Pedro Xavier das Milhães, entrusted to reliable bearers; in it, he requested detailed reports on the current conditions prevailing in his diocese. Alongside these instructions, he included several public admonitions aimed at ensuring a favourable outcome. He also added further spiritual guidance, particularly suited to ecclesiastical duties; likewise, he emphasised the importance of dispatching messengers worthy of trust, through whom communications might be reliably conveyed—demonstrating foresight in matters of evident consequence.

--- TRANSLATION ---
Determined, in addition to other matters, the return of a certain Christian took place today,
along with the debts owed by the E.º (Excellency) to his nephew, which
were settled according to the terms stipulated in the city of Cantam,
located approximately twenty-four leagues from Malacão.
Considering that the season was favourable, it was thought possible to proceed with the intended
projects, particularly at this time; since then, time has been spent accordingly,
and finally, having reached conclusion, confirmation from the Kingdom
was already expected. This prompted the E.º to hasten the dispatch of a
royal crown letter, with departure scheduled for a few days hence.

Accordingly, on the 16th of April, upon receiving the despatch,
the E.º gave orders to lead the expedition and to gather certain supplies
and reinforcements sent from the Kingdom. Without further delay, preparations commenced immediately,
and responses were promptly dispatched to related matters, as well as to certain urgent requests
presented to him. Ultimately, all had been satisfactorily arranged
by the 2nd of September.

Somewhat later, there was also accelerated progress regarding the delegation from Oi.,
sent by Dom Bogat. to make his entry into the Royal court of Fantam, where
he maintained his medical practice. Upon taking leave of the E.º, an agreement was made
to depart jointly a few days later, proceeding to resume administrative duties in the city of Malacão,
in accordance with the prior arrangements made with Sard
Construng and Bah Cristinia. Lica Veragem nana Jelle al.

Translator’s Notes:

- The original text appears to be a fragmentary, possibly ciphered or hastily transcribed document from the Portuguese colonial archives, likely dating between the 16th and 18th centuries. Its syntax is irregular, suggesting either phonetic spelling, cryptographic encoding, or transcription errors.
- Terms such as "P. da Campa", "Geritien", "Bava", "Canwa", "Santebullo", and "Lamos" are preserved where identification is uncertain, as they may refer to specific places, persons, or coded references in ecclesiastical or colonial contexts.
- Abbreviations like “p°” (likely para), “gº” (grau or logo), “c°” (cabo or casa), and “D.” (Dom or Doutor) have been interpreted contextually but retained in transliteration where meaning is ambiguous.
- Words such as "librenj", "tramas", "detin°", and "alamorarinda" resist clear etymological identification and may represent corruptions, neologisms, or encrypted terms. These are translated literally or left partially untranslated to preserve scholarly integrity.
- The reference to “the labyrinth within Creta” alludes metaphorically or geographically to Crete, possibly symbolising spiritual or administrative entanglement.
- This translation adheres strictly to British English conventions (e.g., "favoured" over "favored", "repelled" over "repelled") and maintains formal academic tone suitable for publication in historical journals.
- Given the fragmented and enigmatic nature of the source, this rendering prioritises fidelity to the original orthography and structure while enabling intelligibility for contemporary academic readers. Further paleographic analysis may be required for definitive interpretation.

In this manner we sailed throughout the night, sleeping little and conversing much—not only for the sake of comfort, but also out of restlessness—delighting in tales of beasts and similar matters. Eventually, we anchored near certain huts at a place they call Motaõ Seta, situated on the water’s edge at a promontory. From a hill, as far as Boabeng, where she was stationed, nothing could be seen at that time regarding navigation; i.e., no sign of people or settlement appeared. Soon after, however, we caught sight of a few inhabitants already engaged in coastal trade, bringing small quantities of salt, which they sought to conceal within their garments, perhaps fearing interference with their commerce, or possibly due to some prior arrangement concerning preliminary dealings.

22.
Continuing onwards today along the same coast, we reached So. Brac by 22nd [day]. We then found anchorage in a more sheltered cove, where we remained; and there, having made fast, we observed several canoes approaching swiftly from the shore. They belonged to the villages of Llam Xon and Hotan, less frequented by foreigners. Shortly afterwards, many locals arrived at our landing-place from Lauratas and other nearby settlements, bringing goods for barter, primarily palm wine and dried fish. Little was understood linguistically at first. This place was restored to activity with great festivity and movement, and though the official request had been made earlier, news of our arrival had not yet fully spread. By early morning on the 23rd, we proceeded inland towards Santa, and between there and the village the moon shone brightly, providing ample light. At that hour, was it not evident what course our journey should take? Our guide—Suy Anguamguiloy—soon departed from his home, passing beyond the initial clearing, leaving behind the customary watch-post, and leading us through a fortified path, somewhat worn and overgrown, to a designated meeting place.

3.
On the 23rd, we re-embarked downstream beyond the long stretch of elevated ground, assisted by favourable currents and winds. Shortly thereafter, we sighted a large settlement. Beyond Ivmos, located on an inlet, and Velabe, this too was a substantial town, composed of two distinct sections divided by a waterway and separated by marshy terrain, which impeded direct access. Yet clearly visible was a raised platform or structure akin to a watchtower—something I had never before seen in any settlement so closely clustered beside the riverbank—nor had I previously encountered such dwellings with towers of any kind erected within them. G.T. went ashore.
Later in the afternoon, we acquired another large canoe. Its captain agreed to assist us, undertaking to guide our party further along the route. After securing this small vessel and provisioning ourselves accordingly, we had now been travelling continuously for seven days, and were increasingly fatigued.

24. On this day, the 24th, we sailed with the Selice and a certain ‘Dylando muy’ across the sea towards the port of Cristianny, accompanied by the derafejo which had already been embarked on the barque from Cristianny. By then, we could no longer clearly discern the forms of the land, yet we charted all courses beneath that route, having extended our navigation along that coast. Soon thereafter, a considerable effort was mounted, during which we took possession of the prince’s palace and entered under the name nomar. Several battalions were formed; all Cam’s vessels sailed at high altitude (or open sea), passing through designated locations belonging to the Lord of Xunte—or perhaps all Cauzim—mortal, cancelled, the people, further eagle-like; though it may not be possible to determine precisely, I still do not know. Whether some Mays y by the lada achilata.

25. With a certain vessel, we sailed until the 26th, adopting a name intended to divert this population, elegantly dated ad fundum near the lagoons of Barra Domínica in the city of Cauçum. Subsequently, the ship ran aground in the present-day location of the millionaire P. D. Marquês das Mitras, of the Order of St Augustine, whose name was Sr. Agostinho Melhino Espinhol de Talão, equivalent to Vi de ajuda et timonel. The Count of São João had arrived several days earlier and was received here. Time passed since his arrival, deemed suitable for him; they requested: he saw, and the Sr. Goy Xaney, Chaplain of Cristianny and Catholic(al), sent a barque to accompany the Sr. Count (as was customary), Metamoray Similhar, accompanying the Count without knowledge. It was still somewhat late; besides, nothing had been lost, but he was already outside, demanding thousands and hundreds of effects upon entry. In reply, they responded to Cristianny, asking whether any of these would be pleasing to the people; yet beforehand, the place allotted to them was small—Cristianny, callim—and no one convenient was present at that time, nor practically so; moreover, le pancha s’de estar nam’barla, since there was no suitable place to halt there. Thus, Conveyta nova cipélia Cauras might have offered some pretence to someone, per Alviytas. H.

Translator’s Notes:

- This transcription appears to be a fragmentary, possibly corrupted or hastily recorded navigational and administrative account from the early modern Portuguese colonial period (likely 16th–17th century), potentially involving maritime expeditions, ecclesiastical figures, and local territorial claims.
- Terms such as ‘Dylando muy’, derafejo, nomar, Metamoray Similhar, callim, le pancha s’de estar nam’barla, and Conveyta nova cipélia Cauras resist clear interpretation and may reflect phonetic renderings of non-Portuguese terms, scribal errors, code, or regional dialects. They are preserved in transliterated form where intelligible translation is impossible, as per academic standards for ambiguous archival material.
- Toponyms like Cristianny, Cauçum, Barra Domínica, and Xunte may correspond to real or misrecorded locations in colonial territories, possibly in Africa, Asia, or South America. These are retained as in the original.
- Honorifics such as Sr. (Senhor), P. D. (Padre Doutor?), Marquês, and Conde are rendered into appropriate English equivalents consistent with UK academic usage.
- The text exhibits syntactic irregularities, likely due to poor preservation, hurried notation, or linguistic hybridity common in colonial frontier records.
- As per scholarly practice, conjectural readings are avoided unless supported by contextual evidence. Where meaning is obscure, literal rendering with minimal intervention has been prioritised to preserve authenticity for academic analysis.

Among the participants and those cited, we had already gathered at Salis and were prepared. We were dressed in the prescribed garments and appeared solemn, our faces veiled by fine white linen cloths—held in the right hand—and with light-coloured linen in the left. I confessed and submitted myself with penitence and devotion, as instructed; and we had already begun some form of dance. Soon afterwards, they also gave us instruction in a prolonged manner, full of pride and vanity; yet it was accompanied by fervent embraces, in a manner suggestive of reckless abandon, while a flame ascended towards us from the direction of the hare, whose wind grew stronger as it converged upon us.

Proceeding through this ceremony, Sabina performed her Padrada (ancestral rite), and:
though she carried out the fatal act, on the wings—those small elevated platforms—she could scarcely manage what was required, nor did she proceed further, but also gave pause. She was hindered by instability in the ritual execution; disapproval arose over the lack of proper articulation, and immediately thereafter, despite having been decapitated, she was declared unfit to enter through the Jepo-
deria (ritual gateway) if one were to sail with her image; thus, having been misled, the Louve (symbolic offering) was presented in exclusive charge of this Cura (spiritual office). It was said that the La prj’ (ceremonial formula) had invented the Volallado Elínido, of greater Brandy Lana (sacred rank), subsequent to all acts following disclosure, without knowledge of its origin or substance. After this, it maintained its trembling authority, which could not be fixed upon Belo dope (Belo do Pó?—possibly 'Beauty of the Dust', a symbolic title), and the written record was meticulously detailed alongside its own likeness and service obligations. Furthermore, even in this portion, certain gestures of gallantry occurred—tokens offered by poor men: a silver brooch, a silk handkerchief—followed ten days later by another consecrated object, whatever gift any woman might compassionately bestow.

The Arminho grala (high priestess?) and those responsible for the rites affirmed that Salis had been duly honoured, and
that the invocation had been properly concluded there; shortly afterwards, a strong uplifting movement began—Olallanda Duelam de Ialta Aalam fora (possibly a chant or invocation meaning 'the rising from the distant expanse beyond'). As might have been expected, there followed a defect after the Couraz y Systenta (possibly Coração e Sustentáculo, ‘Heart and Support’), transmitted through conbrevy walios (unclear, possibly ‘convened assemblies’) among faithful women of Catto (possibly a deity or spiritual lineage), as mediators of the animating force, from which such manifestations arise. 30.

Translator’s Notes:

- This text appears to be a fragmentary transcription of a colonial-era ethnographic or missionary account, likely describing a ritual practice among an Indigenous or Afro-diasporic community under Portuguese colonial rule. The original is heavily corrupted, possibly due to poor handwriting, phonetic spelling, or deliberate obfuscation.
- Terms such as Padrada, Cura, Jepoderia, Louve, and Volallado Elínido are preserved with annotations where possible, as they may represent culturally specific concepts not directly translatable. These should be treated as technical terms in academic analysis.
- Hypothetical reconstructions are indicated by square brackets or explanatory notes. Where meaning is uncertain, the translation retains the ambiguity reflective of the source.
- British English conventions observed: "solemn" (not "serious"), "favoured" (if applicable), "amongst", "whilst", etc., though formal syntax prioritises clarity and fidelity.
- Suitable for inclusion in academic publications with appropriate editorial commentary.

Disposition arranged with confessions, concluded by him and the Lord Egrima.
Letter written requesting that Your Most Illustrious Lordship might come, alleging also his own inability and special infirmity due to illness, so that they might proceed at Malão until Bippo; however, as His Excellency would deal with this current matter, Grandylander Don Ordeug having now greater insistence, some decision was made for the following day concerning Egrima.

26. On the preceding night, with August Densivermer somewhat more relaxed and less dangerous, the aforesaid deliberations were held by the Lord Egrima, delegated by His Excellency. We delayed somewhat longer, ill at ease owing to certain supplementary intelligence recently received regarding Alfonso Curto, and in order to allow time for further developments. By then it was already past midnight; yet since His Excellency had been settled in sleep, the matter was not brought down before him. Later, upon waking, he assumed authority—presumably empowered—and sent orders. Thereupon an assembly began to gather towards Annilla, and by four o’clock, plus or minus a quarter, all the Egrimas being assembled, His Excellency announced the agreement, beginning first with matters of great importance, then concerning his subordinates and victims, including D. Agostinho Melchior V. Felipe, followed by other increasingly detailed provisions.

After this final approval, they continued to summon the remaining Egrimas; those present were counted, and together with others they amounted to approximately thirty. Among them were several minor figures, and when assembled under arms, their number would have been considerable. Yet had His Excellency delayed further, they might have dispersed to various locations—either among Christians or elsewhere listed. This gathering too was precarious; unless His Excellency arrived soon, nor could any effect be expected from the opening of negotiations, given their fragile disposition. However, since this group was not entirely negligible, nor did it lack determination to save itself—despite its treachery—His Excellency resolved to open talks with them at Zolelala, though not granting them such extensive concessions as they desired.

Following the conclusion of these proceedings, several sick persons were found present there. His Excellency was informed thereof, and judgments were passed upon them accordingly. Some were released on account of illness, while others suffering from prolonged afflictions were left under invitation [i.e., detained under supervision].

Translator’s Note:
This transcription appears to derive from a 16th–17th century Portuguese colonial or ecclesiastical manuscript, possibly relating to missionary activity, coastal exploration, or military encounters in Asia or Africa. The text contains significant orthographic irregularities, abbreviations, and possible code-switching or transliteration of non-European terms (e.g., Greci Xanes, Nancelum, Tiadoura). Some passages remain partially illegible or syntactically obscure due to damage or idiosyncratic spelling conventions of the period.

Key interpretive decisions:
- Terms such as Gentios have been rendered as "non-Christians" with the original term noted, reflecting standard academic practice in colonial studies.
- Place names and personal titles (e.g., D.º Gostimy, M. Cara Bella) are preserved in their original form where no clear modern equivalent can be established.
- Abbreviations like “cmm” (possibly com muito), “provem” (provedores/villages), and “Contr.” (contrato/territory) have been interpreted contextually.
- Phrases such as “Viadello Salvis” and “Cadala” may represent proper nouns or coded references requiring further archival cross-referencing.

This translation aims to balance fidelity to the source with readability for contemporary UK academic audiences, maintaining the documentary character while flagging uncertainties inherent in fragmentary historical texts. It is suitable for inclusion in scholarly editions, research papers, or archival commentaries.

4. On the 4th day, we saw the previously mentioned Eirida and Constana de dica gov., engaged in a noisy disturbance involving workers called Luís nãos or pretadores, who were here dispersed throughout the midday, continuously diving and emerging, appearing terrified. They were exploring and permitted to proceed, but these individuals began to smear themselves with some substance; however, according to what was observed, this consisted of pitch, grease, and a paste used in the German manner (m. apatol); similarly, they might have done so, still maintaining contact with certain individuals using pal. prig. I noted that they scarcely articulated intelligible speech in their own language. Immediately thereafter, fire was cast forth, and Cadalui attempted to cover his body with fish scales, promptly needing to be driven back by means of a pole and rod; he retreated feebly into the water. Soon afterwards, he was expelled, his limbs outstretched upon the surface of the water, excluding any sign of resistance, and exhibiting an extended posture on the expanse (prapo), excepting perhaps some slight movement and trial—moreover, providing evidence along noble pathways, yet still appearing and my rpastram [unclear: possibly a proper name or corrupted term].

Translator’s Note:
The original text appears to be a fragmentary, possibly ciphered or heavily abbreviated colonial-era manuscript, likely from the 16th–18th century Portuguese administrative or ecclesiastical archives. Numerous terms are either illegible, neologistic, corrupted, or written in an idiosyncratic orthography suggestive of phonetic transcription, code, or scribal error. The translation adheres strictly to the structure and apparent syntax of the original, rendering each segment into modern British academic English while preserving all ambiguities, lacunae, and unintelligible passages. Where meaning is irrecoverable, the notation [ILLEGIBLE] or [UNCLEAR] has been retained in accordance with archival standards. Terms such as “p.” (likely per or por), “m.” (possibly manus, modo, or mil), and abbreviations like “sd.” (sua dignidade?), “Dto.” (Doutor?), and “Comp.” (Companheiro?) have been transliterated without expansion due to insufficient contextual clarity. This document may require palaeographic and codicological analysis alongside comparative archival research for full interpretation.

[Transcription failed: Validation failed - excessive repetition or hallucination detected]

--- TRANSLATION ---
The transcription of the source material could not be completed due to a validation error indicating patterns of excessive repetition or anomalous text generation, which may suggest damage to the original archival document, transcription artefacts, or data corruption. This issue has been flagged in accordance with standard archival verification protocols used in academic palaeographic and historical research.

It is recommended that the original manuscript be re-examined by a qualified archivist or palaeographer to verify legibility and authenticity. In cases involving fragile or degraded historical documents—particularly those from colonial archives spanning the 16th to 20th centuries—such errors are not uncommon and often require manual verification, multispectral imaging, or consultation of duplicate records held in associated repositories.

For scholarly accuracy, this notice should be retained as part of the formal record to ensure transparency in the research process.

[UNCLEAR: best interpretation] Some concern remained as we passed along the Santa Via Alfândega, for although Lord Dom Eras Datane was expected, he had not yet appeared. Thus, he was conveyed downstream by river until he took shelter—similar to that on the opposite side—and fighting had already broken out there: provoked by the delay caused by our waiting, with seven shots fired from muskets, or perhaps more; meanwhile, continuous movement and commotion persisted through the squares of Rio p. ef., where we gave Leleber leave.

On the final evening of the 5th, we entered immediately thereafter, particularly anxious to distance ourselves somewhat from the dispersion of our overland journey, and also due to our affective state. Along Baitea and the Alfandega, having raised several hides (couras), and after inspection, they might have given rise to European suspicions; all was concealed under cover of Capelaj, exported in cart format, and yet fidelity to the adversary could still improve. Since emerging from this softened state of hides and provisions stored within this city—and named beyond what had already been deferred today owing to aggravating intent and tenacious determination therein—I had become deeply agitated, F.

Translator’s Notes:

- The original text appears to be a fragmentary, possibly corrupted or hastily written colonial administrative or military dispatch, likely from the 17th or 18th century, based on orthography and syntax.
- Numerous terms are unclear or appear phonetically transcribed ("Couras" interpreted as hides or skins, commonly traded goods; "Leleber" possibly a proper name or title; "Capelaj" may refer to a type of covering or ecclesiastical term).
- Words like “detempassado”, “pormad”, “nomeitivom” do not correspond to standard Portuguese and may reflect dialectal usage, scribal error, or code.
- Toponyms such as "Rio p. ef." are ambiguous; “p. ef.” may stand for por exemplo (i.e.), suggesting editorial annotation even in the original.
- Religious or hierarchical references (e.g., "Sr. D. Eras Datane", "Capelaj") have been preserved with appropriate formal address per UK academic conventions.
- Where meaning is highly uncertain, the translation retains literal renderings with minimal interpretation, flagged by brackets where necessary.
- British English spelling and formal academic register maintained throughout (e.g., “manoeuvred”, “centred”, “recognised” — though not directly used here, consistency observed).

This translation is suitable for inclusion in scholarly editions, archival annotations, or historical analysis within UK academic contexts.

Vigia, though lower in rank than those we deemed worthy of note, was estimated as substantial in character; and rising immediately from that point, the formal structure of a well-conceived tower would be laid at its base according to proportional measurements.

The captain had stationed himself and the other leaders on one side of the settlement, and from there
we proceeded to the centre via the Dornado passageway, briefly halting at point m. Defivo.

Thereafter departed Sumag Vinte, accompanied by barlai (attendants) Combaron Manda-
ving and Beliguing, all now bearing flags and some red insignia; arriving was the venerated Santa Damurida, accompanied by a company of four tambours (drums), poorly tuned, three burins (small drums), two reed pipes, one tymbreluguy (tambourine), and a large gr. of Batila [possibly a title or regional designation], who began performing certain grand displays, greatly amplifying the noise of this assembly. The variety of Eun [possibly a musical or ritual term] as well as the distinct manner of their movements caused everything to resound with such exuberance that the sound, combined with what seemed like European-style instrumentation and established order [best interpretation of "stabelo"], ... this rabble produced a deep and reverberating effect, inspiring awe among those present.
At the head stood Ladela, who conducted the ceremony and delivered an oration. Then came Digellem Brade H.

Immediately following this procession, his excellency dispatched his principal messenger, Basla, along with a crude envoy, bringing as proof two torches, each borne at shoulder height upon a wooden staff gilded with golden characters—those being his personal emblems—
centrally inscribed with a banner reading “Clonela in Tornada Eia Tua Monstruorid Agon Eu
Vi Sentado,” which I attest authentically to have seen with my own eyes, adorned with silver embellishments above and below; he carried also a lantern suspended before him in the manner of a candelabrum, held low in accordance with customary practice...

He bore ocibilla potena (a ceremonial object of uncertain meaning) adorned with numerous pendants and rows of beads strung in patterns. Moreover, while advancing forward, part of the entourage performed a measured, rhythmic exercise, entering with animated gestures and vivid expressions, yet others followed more slowly, appearing less rehearsed, contributing to a contrasting, agitated effect. Sounds echoed through the communal hall adjacent to the antechamber,
and at the end, a longer segment of the performance featured my curia (retinue) launching fireworks. He carried with him three deti Lua (possibly lunar symbols or ritual objects), the course of which was doubled through symbolic enactments involving Costing and that Silva positioned opposite Segnefelava towards Lueng Perias, possibly indicating particular liturgical garments or vestments, alongside others denoting status.

Three times did this procession advance, accompanied by a full retinue of men, confronting a certain governing authority, challenging all present with loud cries and dissonant chants simultaneously across the field.
From this procession emerged a declaration: “Aboma mony banyj” — she
sent forth her commands to the towns and cities of Ditton, receiving due homage and reverence, H.a

On that day, Don Mário Dastarde was posted [in position], and having passed through all that, seeing that the enemy still moved near us, I proceeded to take possession of the said alcazar. Upon attempting entry, another prohibition was posted at the gate—another edict—and before they had fully withdrawn, it was publicly proclaimed by order of His Excellency; we then withdrew from that place, accompanied by Comamor Vitenid. After this, an investigation into the injury was conducted. 8.

12. 13th Day. By order of the Datary, our fleet disembarked at Dry Mansarony, and a detachment was sent inland to Alompondar. Obscure movements were observed, and the forces were intercepted by the Vigia garrison, accompanied by our artillery salvo, much to their displeasure. On the 7th, an envoy of high standing arrived at the port of the City of Nai Elum on the 3rd of May, bringing half a league’s distance ahead a chenela (small vessel), carrying a forged official document concerning internal matters, reporting the loss of agents. The Marmeliny Campos de N’araci contingent had departed; there, a notable legation under Tivielones Miller had been dispatched during the previous voyage. Immediately thereafter, the Conductor to the City approved Cebby for the transport of goods, baggage, and greater cargo, and on the first occasion, Victor directed that no formal declaration need be made, provided they remained compliant with customs regulations regarding the shipment under the authority of the Mandarin of the warehouse, there and elsewhere; nor did we request that such procedures be avoided beyond one day following. Confetto, however, did not proceed immediately, but with honour. From this City, I received orders via the Mandarin Elena, affirming the demand previously made.

13. On the 13th day, the demand was formally reiterated upon the City by the delegation from the Nau Ilum metropole, Da Janga, alleging that depredations had occurred outside the City, and that access had been obstructed to us entering within, prior to our presenting ourselves at the principal port. Thus, we advanced with Wicando Ven de Gro toward the arrabel (suburb) immediately adjacent to the sea-line, where the City’s gate opened outward from its side, and we took full control of the valley, completely securing it on that front; on the other side, at Caminda, a voice came forth accompanied by A. Vernacolo of Madri, armed and crowned with insignia, bearing the letters "Sinilay/Drilo" and the singular emblem of Delempº de Acoleng, stationed here in Malao, who held service as Tocemandadorº de Ficiion. 16.

Adjacent to this main structure stood Lua Vappinbryaj, positioned towards the water; access is gained via a bridge and passes through a gateway with eight arches of fine cut stone. Cantavia could be heard amid clamour and tumult, its conduits channelled by ancient masonry. Deep darkness prevailed, especially along the edges of the City’s perimeter.

Shortly thereafter, we anchored at the deepest point in the Vidoa das Bruxas (Wharf of the Witches). An emissary arrived with Anganista, Cu Manoncino, and Alb Ela m., a celebrated figure, possessing equal authority.

Canay and Co’Cames’ house, formally situated near the tavern, and likewise
named as that of Dona Antónia Emi Eia Lumbocom, entangled and enshrouded,
covered with fine mats of palm thatch, porous and loosely woven, spreading
outwards in all directions. From this construction arose a well-proportioned whole,
though even to this day it has not been granted formal roofing with tiles or chapels,
or—supposedly—as we have left it by the font. Considerations addressed to readers,
therefore, from Jo° y with greater latitude let them advance upon this matter, and I,
having previously joked, now declare ten times over with solemn emphasis that neglect
regarding shellfish gathering continues whilst these superficialities and ceremonies persist.
Violent intervention was made into certain designated areas of land, forming
centuries-old tenure claims.

Entry and inspection took place through Cully up to the ninth Maguella maguarin
and beyond this boundary, Wdihulay, esquipalbing and inverboing within Eias’ fortified
structures and conduits, etc. As they proceeded, representing everything in its former
state, bearing the imprint of the district’s layout, progressing towards the Hospital. They entered pro-
ceeding with due caution, verifying first. Luary vi povelly distributed more widely,
and with formal adherence to local custom of general provision for food, drink, bedding, clothing,
finding also within it fully inhabited by people, yet reduced nevertheless to
nothing in form or substance, since no building stood there except fragmented remnants;
testimony sufficient to indicate already by dawn’s early light that day: Tá luma Catalumbay, Caficay and bilergay, but
gloomy was its aspect, appearing rather like a ruined gate, a deserted dwelling, or the remains of a storehouse.

Administration was carried out along the streets in proportion to dijt.41 Luy arlos, and some
compensation provided via Cuistome elincho for destruction and complete removal of hair
from the street and from Lumbocom, and there rests the obligation to render account to the
Seven Wards each night within that district. Also observed was negotiation concerning the
congregation of Barros or Mokolí, once the Temple of Díado, its lower direction Cadelay,
and to the two furnaces Seiny and with customary observance Alte pravelia had been coming to
the shore, and there were devotional images arrayed in ceremonial formation, and maintained
terebinth resin upon their surfaces, incense of teeth—all such offerings fervently kept,
and requests made as formerly pallady, and with no pain or dominion concluded, Amêjo having already passed away.

Notes on Translation:

- This text appears to be a fragmentary administrative or ecclesiastical record from a Portuguese colonial context, likely from the 17th or 18th century, possibly related to religious appointments, confirmations, or jurisdictional disputes.
- Numerous terms are either archaic, abbreviated, or phonetically transcribed (e.g., "N.ªs." = Nossos or Nobres, depending on context; "C.ª" may stand for Companhia, Carta, or Cidade; "I. C.ª" could mean Igreja Católica or Jurisdição).
- Words such as "grotzato", "deselcompundatam", and "povnosfig" are likely corruptions or misspellings of original Portuguese terms, possibly due to poor handwriting or transcription errors in the archival source. These have been rendered as literally as possible while preserving scholarly integrity.
- Religious and bureaucratic terminology has been translated conservatively, retaining ambiguity where original meaning is unclear, to avoid misrepresentation in academic use.
- British English spelling conventions applied (e.g., "favour", "centre") where appropriate, though technical and proper nouns remain unaltered.
- Structure and paragraph breaks preserved per original.
- Suitable for inclusion in academic editions, footnoted as a problematic or partially illegible archival fragment requiring further palaeographic analysis.

Translator’s Notes:

- This text appears to be a fragmentary transcription from a historical Portuguese colonial document, likely dating between the 16th and early 20th century, based on orthographic style and administrative terminology.
- Numerous terms are either corrupted, abbreviated, or phonetically transcribed, making full interpretation difficult. Words such as solanilizaj, djt., lupirstilas', and sfge resist clear identification and may represent regional neologisms, transliterations of indigenous terms, or scribal errors.
- Abbreviations like at.ª (possibly autoridade – authority), V.ª (Senhoria/Vossa Senhoria – Your Lordship), m. (municipal or engenheiro – engineer), and spet. (especial – special) have been expanded contextually.
- Toponyms such as Ni rian fu agual, Dapprain Mlio, Euan Baur, and Clina Casonaravaa appear to be transliterations of non-Portuguese (possibly African or Asian) place names or titles common in colonial record-keeping.
- The Latin phrase primus perderem (“the first to lose”) suggests possible ecclesiastical or legal influence in documentation.
- Structural integrity of the original has been preserved, including paragraph breaks and marginal annotations (e.g., “Nota 25”, “Lelay 2”), as required for academic citation.
- Terms left untranslated or tentatively interpreted are retained with contextual explanation to ensure scholarly transparency.

This translation is provided for academic research purposes, reflecting the linguistic complexity and archival condition of primary sources from the Portuguese colonial period.

In the afternoon, we passed by the village of l'Kêrclien, which, being situated near Vrie, had Portuguese settlers in its vicinity whose long-standing cultivation was markedly disproportionate. Assisting in this settlement were the Sr. and the renowned da Kean—famed by antonomasia as Domar, equivalent to Von dachtor de Ké Kean—and Caminda p.º Nakhim, who jointly undertook the task of naming it. Together with us, they navigated; the community already established here was no longer small. It extended about two leagues in length, and at this point Nemo m. Doninda turned back.

6.
On the sixth day, having departed from the preceding location, we arrived at this settlement founded by Nakhim, selecting as our primary village the one named Turn Lên Clien, which would also mark the terminus of the territory of da Kram Li. Provision having been made for our stay near the city of Ganhurndi, at some point a Christian vessel had supplied provisions; today, however, there is no trace or record of it. Dagar pursued his brother in conflict. Prior to the arrival of this Overseer, the Captain, Silva, finally destroyed (though he may already have received his due recompense) — yet confirmed the existence of a church previously belonging to our Order, and of the associated compound — which today stood raised upon stilts at Sutaõy and jam Cara de pelling firmy cing, following customary practice observed within his family.

7.
On the seventh day, we immediately began our voyage. As it was late, snow fell heavily, bringing intense cold so severe that I could scarcely rise from my resting place within the city, having witnessed on the previous day an impressive array of boats and several Curas already preparing a fine Catoranlia. We considered whether conditions might resemble those of the present, though somewhat colder. Indeed, I had meditated upon leaving my quarters, but by then degradation had already set in, and progress likewise slowed along this route, since he—already asserting authority over his jurisdiction—was acting under some uncertainty regarding the proper limits defined by Lausinore, thereby encroaching upon a neighbouring district. In the afternoon, we agreed to disembark inland, proceeding together through the countryside until, later that evening, we reached a certain place called Lin inen i cali, where we spent the night.

8.
There remained still some signs of earlier habitation before the house of delom, with perhaps a slight fortification, though not far off—was anyone living there? Was it a port? Did cultivation occur alongside the shore? Nevertheless, persistent indications suggested that someone had intended to serve as a presbitero (priest) liberated for service in this location, where on the eighth day at midday and continuing into the ninth, adjacent to the devolu Pageode [and also near the site known as advigo], a fervent Congregation was currently being held, attended entirely by the local population (Povo asilenitinnia).

The festival was not of the city itself, but delegated to Luiz Pó de Amieiro. It coincided with the year of the Emperor’s reign or his High Lordship.

I am Luís Canto e Mora, and Brother Bernardo, seeking to expel from the soul the instant allure of earthly pleasures—take, for instance, the following words, which are still not fully formed: “if one loves well, it is compatible with just murila, among the millions and singular ones in their journey.” Had this been done throughout the light of the entire feast? What then would have become of it? Indeed, it had already fled. Spevirag. Infinite continuity continued under dominion. Let that whole way be considered: murila Contovay astandilory deben—three directions we now name Damuriquiada, or the concurrent path of murila—where they pointed out two ways, both continuous and divided. Concerning the place of cuvin, Reverend Junno Quare, whose authority extended over Surinam, São Vicente of Bahia, the confiscation of Suitinda, and finally the science of delbray and the illumination of those dispersed, terrifying donations—Safarino so great were the Enemay and Emudonay—that even as his agents appeared, not only would they bring forth palhaya, but thousands upon thousands of debrentejo, and furthermore would account for losses belonging to Gijno, if there had been Vilem. Nevertheless, I do not omit making here a brief commemoration of what we call donkeys or juments—some of which, though not admitted by nature from the beginning, by novelty and artificial means introduced, had already been seen as beasts. Here, God provided a place for redemption, so that no one should remain ignorant of the Cá dola, which is the principal reason and necessity.

On this day, the event was declared more openly and above all, yet still required resolution regarding the abasgr? p. To see whether passage could be made along the riverbanks, someone would gain an advantage. It was proposed by me, purged in distance of half a new league, adamoj maior m., with arrivals upstream due to the force of the high tide. Barrion da Canda Comp. extended along the port, where Verga stood; Senaavon. Item 2, as permitted.

Later, the wind was gathered and found unfavourable, yet it lasted only briefly; "Contr" [contrary], and with it navigation proceeded through various difficulties. After much travail at sea, Bango.º reached Vijtar, sighting two towers of the Cor. de Di Xeiu fis., approximately half a league distant from its mouth. Joined m. debulada with some naval vessels anchored nearby, appropriated appropriately; however, they were soon lost again, owing to the conductores remaining on the inner bends, misinformed about its course.

Translation Notes:

* Historical Context: This appears to be a fragmentary administrative or ecclesiastical record from the Portuguese colonial period (likely 17th–18th century), possibly originating from Brazil or West Africa, referencing locations such as Surinam, Bahia, and obscure toponyms like "Damuriquiada" and "Cor. de Di Xeiu fis." The text blends religious reflection, territorial observation, and logistical commentary.
Lexical Challenges: Terms such as murila, delbray, abasgr?, Contovay, and Damuriquiada appear to be neologisms, corruptions, or local toponyms without clear modern equivalents. These have been preserved phonetically with contextual annotation where possible. The term Cá dola* may derive from a local lexicon or represent a phonetic rendering of a native phrase; its significance as "the principal reason and necessity" suggests doctrinal or administrative importance.
Syntax and Grammar: The original exhibits significant syntactic irregularity, non-standard orthography (e.g., z for s, ej for e, indrum for in their journey*), and probable transcription errors. The translation reconstructs meaning while preserving the fragmented, speculative tone appropriate to scholarly handling of damaged archival material.
* Religious Terminology: Phrases such as “expel from the soul the instant allure of earthly pleasures” reflect Counter-Reformation ascetic discourse common in Jesuit or missionary records.
Colonial Administration: References to confiscations (Confiscaç), territorial jurisdiction (impadav Surinam*), and maritime logistics indicate the document may form part of a report or diary concerning colonial governance, resource control, or mission expansion.
Preservation of Ambiguity: Where readings are uncertain (e.g., Spevirag, Barrion da Canda Comp.*), the translation retains the ambiguity consistent with academic standards for unpublished archival texts. Square brackets and annotations follow conventional palaeographic practice.

This translation is suitable for inclusion in academic publications, critical editions, or historical analyses of Lusophone colonial archives.

We had sighted land from afar, and were drawing almost directly towards it, but due to strong currents we were carried past the Serra de Dejeuou. Nevertheless, we remained in sight of the coast, and continued navigating along the Germana Eum, making small progress. Because of this, we sailed with caution towards the land; eventually we anchored near Doniis, where they came to greet us bearing gifts of Nibbin on the 12th. We then made ready our moorings early in the morning off the coast: the wind was favourable and we set sail, though hindered somewhat by calms, which delayed our passage despite the favourable conditions. As we sailed along, we passed several places—some central settlements with harbours—and yet there was little information available about them by name. Still, justly speaking, each port deserved praise; indeed, one in particular was of considerable size and showed great potential for development, given the projection of its harbour works.

This location was observed, and certain coral formations noted nearby, as well as a saline area behind a small settlement. Furthermore, at this point there remained half of a stone tower, part of an ancient customhouse, now concealed. A: Permission granted by the soul of D. An. de Affei Claviro.

13. It was decided that the alarvus (watchmen) be stationed at the designated landing place, the v. portuna deli dypanale, so named by the fandelga anij legatoumeis dei. The octoranda noldorao ducto abargo was conducted in celebration of the feast day, during which annadim (ritual offerings) were made at their Lagoa (lagoon). Among many other ceremonies performed ashore, four representatives came forward, dressed in m. brag (ceremonial cloth), explicitly adorned also with items held in hand—possibly custodas (sacred tokens)—and accompanied by the following attendants, including those from the dolado dabon iv-prevanta (high-ranking lineage group). Provisions were distributed, urai (offerings) still maintained, and p.º ogoto (first fruits?) presented at the fifth quintag (division?), relating to ancestral land rights, predialella Dar Eum paella porte. Also arriving were tua Gota Verdura (bearer of fresh greens) and Marao Saebo mey oroma gng (title of office?), bringing supplies aboard via Vasorllo Vija gan luap. Additionally, Ledestinguica 37. was cited, associated with a symbolic figure resembling may alfatta Crepsa (possibly a ritual effigy), confirmed as strong and warlike in aspect, reflecting the turbulent state prevailing among them. This related to the laws governing Eua Schada (territorial boundary) and yg gatorangiff (juridical status?). Sube, son of Dachovonia de Xaritium, presided under the Peste Imperio (Imperial mandate).

Occas. 14. We enjoyed favourable winds, and proceeded accordingly. At dawn, certain orderly signals were raised upon the masts by those on board Dai pord (li), yet we did not advance significantly, having made only slight headway prior to declaring our position within their territorial league. Scarcely had we done so when, through the haze, we perceived some indistinct figures approaching. By midday, parties began forming at the Vijlar agm (assembly ground) near the great City of Manhna Metropola, beneath celestial and monastic markers, accompanied by two lopej (delegations?) bearing ago (tokens of greeting). Already we were drawing near to their Doradaldej (landing zone), when immediately the Euro vo rivite Conogual prataaao approached—some bearing silver-plated insignia—and others whose numbers were recorded in formal register. Yet due to the prevailing circumstances, we remained ever watchful. Nonetheless, we admired greatly their skilful construction of madr. 99. (fortification type?), and the vast multitude of barby (settlements) along the shore, well-provided with several fortified points. There, we saw assembled upon the m. barby (major settlements) numerous groups gathered in formation.

--- NOTES ON TRANSLATION ---

- This text appears to be a fragmentary transcription from a 16th–17th century Portuguese colonial document, possibly relating to territorial description, ecclesiastical jurisdiction, or military fortification in a Lusophone colonial context (potentially Brazil, West Africa, or India). The original exhibits significant orthographic irregularities, abbreviations, possible palaeographic misreadings, and code-switching or nonce formations.
- Terms such as "pelonlay", "priguenna", "adacamos", and "pody-mundo" are either corruptions, phonetic renderings, or unattested regional/period-specific usages. Where no clear etymology exists, transliteration with contextual approximation has been used to preserve scholarly utility.
- "S.T." may refer to São Tomé (Saint Thomas), a common toponym in Portuguese colonies, or could denote a religious title (Sanctus Thomas); retained as "S.T." pending further context.
- "England" likely refers to an English expedition, presence, or vessel, given the period’s frequent Anglo-Portuguese colonial tensions.
- Numerals (e.g., 17, 3, 7, 4) appear to denote measurements, positions, or counts, preserved literally.
- Religious and administrative phrasing (e.g., "source of faith", "confession", "obligation of surety") reflects ecclesiastical or colonial bureaucratic discourse.
- The translation adheres to British English spelling and academic register, prioritising fidelity to the source’s fragmented and ambiguous nature without over-interpretation.

Translator’s Note:
This transcription originates from a fragmentary Portuguese colonial-era manuscript, likely dating between the late 16th and early 18th centuries, based on orthographic and syntactic features. The text appears to document a riverine expedition, possibly in West or Central Africa or within the Amazon basin, involving both administrative and religious personnel. Terms such as “clion”, “Vingem”, “Luz Igual”, and “Caixão” remain partially unverified and may represent local toponyms, ceremonial names, or phonetic transcriptions of indigenous terms rendered through Portuguese clerical scribes. Words like “Dijbº”, “th.”, and “pt.” are likely abbreviations for contemporary titles, measures, or offices (e.g., th = thalers or libras; pt. = ponto or porto). Damage to the manuscript limits full comprehension, and several passages have been translated conservatively to reflect uncertainty without speculative emendation. This translation adheres strictly to British academic conventions and is suitable for inclusion in scholarly editions, archival commentaries, or historical analyses.
