The Commentaries of the Great Afonso Dalboquerque, Second Viceroy of India Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 October 2010
WHEREIN IS CONTAINED AN ACCOUNT OF WHAT THE GREAT AFONSO DALBOQUERQUE PERFORMED IN THE CONQUEST OF THE KINGDOM OF GOA FOR THE SECOND TIME, AND OF THE KINGDOM OF MALACA: AND ALL THE BEST THAT HE DID UNTIL HIS DEPARTURE TO THE STRAITS
How, after his fleet was ready, he set out for the harbour of Cananor: and what passed with the King of Garçopa and Timoja concerning the entry of the river of Goa.
When the interviews were concluded, which the great Afonso Dalboquerque held in Cochim with Goncalo de Sequeira and the other captains, he set out towards Cananor, where he found ready the fleet and all the things which he required for his voyage. And without making any delay, he set sail with a fleet of twenty-three vessels, containing about two thousand Portuguese: and of them there were the Captains Manuel de Lacerda; Fernão Perez Dandrade; Simão Dandrade, his brother; Bastião de Miranda; Afonso Pessoa; Ruy de Brito Patalim; Diogo Fernandez de Béja; Jorge Nunez de Lião; Francisco Pereira Pestana; D. João de Lima; D. Jeronymo de Lima, his brother; Manuel da Cunha; Duarte de Melo; Pero Dafonseca; Gaspar de Paiva; Simão Martinez; Francisco Pantoja; Antonio de Matos; and Diogo Mendez de Vasconcelos, who was going to Malaca; Dinis Cerniche, Balthezar da Silva, and Pero Coresma, who were to accompany [Diogo Mendez de Vasconcelos]. And so the whole fleet went along the coast and stood over against Onor to take in fresh supplies and water.
