ome from any part of the Indies. But if they come from
Ormuz to Goa with horses, they are not subiect to pay any custome inward,
notwithstanding if they send all or any part thereof for any other place,
or returne it to Ormuz, they pay the custome outward, although they could
not sell.

They vse also in Goa amongst the common sort to bargaine for coales, wood,
lime, and such like, at so many braganines, accounting 24 basaruches for
one braganine, albeit there is no such mony stamped. The custome of the
Portugals is, that any Moore or Gentile, of what condition or state soeuer
he be, may not depart from Goa to go within the land, without licence of
certaine deputies deputed for that office, who (if they be Moores or
Gentiles) doe set a seale vpon the arme, hauing thereon the armes of
Portugal, to be knowen of the porters of the citie, whether they haue the
said licence or no.

COCHIN.

The weight, measure, and money, currant in Cochin.

All the marchandise which they sell or buy within the sayd citie, they
bargaine for at so many serafines per quintal, which is 128. rotilos of
iust weight, with the quintal and rotilo of Goa and Ormuz: aduertising that
there are diuers sorts of bars according to the sorts of commodities, and
in traffiquing, they reason at so much the bar. Note that there are bars of
3 quintals and 3 quintals and halfe, and 4 quintals. They abate a vsed tare
of all marchandize, according to the sort of goods, and order taken for the
same.

The measure of Goa and Cochin are all one.

The money of Cochin are all the same sorts which are currant in Goa, but
the duckat of gold in value is 10 tangas of good money.

The custome of Cochin as wel inward as outward for all strangers is eight
in the hundred, but those that haue bene married foure yeere in the
countrey pay but foure in the hundred, per aduiso.

MALACCA.

The weight, measure, and money of Malacca.

For the marchandise bought and sold in the citie they reckon at so much the
barre, which barre is of diuers sorts, great and small, according to the
ancient custome of the said citie, and diuersitie of the goods. But for the
cloues they bargaine at so much the barre, which barre is 3 quintals, 2
roues and 10 rotilos. As I haue abouesaid, all kind of drugs haue their
sorts of barres limited. Note that euery quintal is 4 roues, and euery roue
32 rotilos, which is 128 rotilos the quintall, the which answereth to
Aleppo 95 rotilos, and to London
