One pico of sugar, two taes, or, at the least, one and one-half taes. One pico of the finest iron, which resembles a _manteca_ [64] is worth two taes, and in nails two and one-half, and three taes. One pico of Chinese camphor is worth ten taes. One pico of cinnamon, three taes. Rhubarb, at two, two and one-half, and three taes; and there is an infinite amount of it in China. Pieces of thin, fine silk, which contain about twenty varas, arc worth three and one-half and four taes. Red silk headdresses for women, four and five maces apiece. One pico of licorice, two and one-half taes. One pico of China-wood, at eight maces, and one tae. The merchandise brought by the Portuguese in their ships from the districts where they trade and traffic is as follows. First, they carry from Malaca to Goa a great quantity of cloves, nutmeg, and mace; also tin--which is the finest that is obtained from those parts, and which they also carry to China, for the tin of that country is not so fine. They carry tortoise-shell and many pearls. From Zeylao, a great quantity of cinnamon, the finest of diamonds, and other precious gems. From Bengala, abundance of very fine cotton; quantities of sugar and rock sulphur; and a quantity of rice--for which, if it were not for Bengala, Yndia would suffer. From Mocambique, ivory and brasil-wood. From Ormuz, which is in Persia, they bring excellent horses, and very fine carpets; many larins, [65] each one a trifle smaller than one of our reals; many clusters of dates; camlets, [66] and many agras; and benecianos, [67] each of which is worth about one of our escudos of eleven reals. From the kingdom of Pegu, they carry a quantity of fine lac in loaves, and other things. From Siam, excellent silver, and arquebus-balls; much and very fine benzoin; almond cakes; a quantity of oil of ginger, and of cocoa, and brasil-wood; lead; and a quantity of rice. From Conchinchina, aguila-wood, [68] and another wood called _calambac_, [69] which is very valuable. It is black and contains oil, and is worth fifty cruzados among the Portuguese; while in its own kingdom, it passes weight for weight with silver. [The ship also carries] lead, pepper, and some yellow silk. From the kingdom of Champa is brought the abovesaid wood, and it is even finer than that of Conchinchina. They carry another kind of black wood from which the Chinese make certain little sticks one cuarto [_i.e._, one-fourth vara?] long with which they eat. This kingdom has nothing else [to trade]. From Cambay, they bring the finest incense that those districts furnish. It is worth three taes per pico. They bring it from Far, which is Arabia the Blest [_la Felice_], and also from the island of Samatra, which the Portuguese call by another name Dachen. From Timor, white sandal wood, which grows in no other part, while they bring the red from Santo Tome.
