The Commentaries of the Great Afonso Dalboquerque, Second Viceroy of India Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 July 2011
The message which the Hidalcão sent to the great Afonso Dalboquerque, desiring that he would make peace with him, and further proceedings.
Inasmuch as the Hidalcão was far more anxious of making peace with the great Afonso Dalboquerque than of taking vengeance upon him for the defeat which our men had visited him with at the fortress of Pangij, after the space of a few days following this event, he sent two Turks, men of importance, to confer with Afonso Dalboquerque on the subject, and they, when they had come to the waterside opposite Pangij, began to make signals with their flags. Then Afonso Dalboquerque sent Gaspar Rodriguez, the interpreter, to land, to discover what they required.
The Turks told him to inform the chief captain that the Hidalcão had sent them there to arrange terms of peace, and that he must send someone to confer with them. But as he was completely disgusted with their lying he would have nothing to say to them. Yet, nevertheless, in order that he might let no good opportunity escape him, he sent Pero Dalpoem in a boat well provided with men, to go and talk with them.
