_Leonardo Ribeyro._ According to Manuel Correa’s commentary on the _Obras do grande Camões_, Lisbon, 1720, this, on the authority of the poet himself, is the full name of the “Leonardo” mentioned in Canto VI, stanza 40. Faria y Sousa (_Asia Portuguesa_, I, p. 29) identified this “Leonardo” with Francisco de Faria e Figueredo, but subsequently (_Commentos aos Lusiadas_, 1639) he gave up the point. _João de Setubal_, according to Correa (I, pp. 96, 104, 107), was one of the thirteen who accompanied Vasco da Gama to Calecut (see Stanley’s _Vasco da Gama_, pp. 119, 213). _Alvaro Velho_, a soldier (Castanheda, I, p. 54; Goes, I, p. 90; Faria y Sousa). Perhaps this is the Alvaro Velho de Barreyro mentioned by Valentin Ferdinand (Valentino de Moravia or Alemão), in his _Description of Africa_ (1507), as having resided eight years at Sierra Leone (see Kunstmann, in _Abhdlgn. d. bayer. Ak. d. W., Cl. iij_, t. IX, Abt. 1). *_Fernão Veloso_, a soldier (Barros, I, pt. 1, p. 283-6; Castanheda, I, p. 9; Goes, I, p. 71; Faria y Sousa; Camoens, Canto VI, stanza 41). CONVICTS OR BANISHED MEN (DEGRADADOS). _Pedro Dias_, nicknamed “Northeasterling”. Correa (_Lendas_, I, p. 46) says that Vasco da Gama left him behind at Moçambique, and that subsequently he came to India (compare Stanley’s _Vasco da Gama_, p. 106). _Pero Esteves._ Correa (_Lendas_, I, p. 236) says that Vasco da Gama left him behind at Quiloa, and that when J. da Nova reached that port in 1501, he came out to meet him. Barros (I, pt. 1, p. 467) says that the convict who met J. da Nova had been landed by Cabral, and that his name was Antonio Fernandez. _João Machado_, according to Correa (_Lendas_, I, pp. 41, 160), was left behind by Vasco da Gama at Moçambique, but according to Barros (I, pt. 1, p. 406) it was Cabral who left him at Melinde, with instructions to make inquiries about Prester John. Cabral may have transferred him from Moçambique to the more northern port. He subsequently did good service, and Affonso de Albuquerque appointed him alcaide mór of Goa. He was slain in battle, 1515 (see Stanley’s _Vasco da Gama_, pp. 93-5). _Damião Rodriguez_ was a friend of João Machado, and a seaman on board the _S. Gabriel_, from which vessel he deserted at the shoals of S. Raphael. When Cabral came to Moçambique, his grave was pointed out. All this is stated on the sole authority of Correa (_Lendas_, I, p. 160). Compare Stanley’s _Vasco da Gama_, p. 94. _João Nunez_, a “new” Christian (_i.e._, a converted Jew), who knew a little Arabic and Hebrew, and was landed at Calecut. In the Portuguese edition of Correa (I, p. 78) he is erroneously called João Martins (see Stanley’s _Vasco da Gama_, pp. 159, 180, 206). NATIVES AND OTHERS EMBARKED IN THE EAST.
