[30] The marco is a weight equivalent to the half of a libra, and is used for weighing gold and silver. The marco of gold is divided into fifty castellanos, and that of silver into eight onzas. (Barcia.) [31] Albarejo (or alberjon): a provincial term (used in La Mancha), applied, like the Catalan candeal, to a variety of white wheat. (Barcia.) [32] Spanish tumbaga (from Malay tambâga, copper): an alloy of copper and zinc, or a species of brass, with an excess of zinc; also known as "Dutch gold" and "pinchbeck." [33] In the Spanish text, extension; but this is apparently a misprint for some other word, for which, in accordance with the obvious meaning, we substitute "suppression." At the beginning of Maldonado's work is printed a list of errata therein, thirty-two in number; this is followed by the naïve remark, "There are some others, which the discreet reader can correct." [34] Spanish, Pico de oro; the same as the Greek Chrysostom. [35] The word caballería has many meanings, but probably only two are here involved; these are found in the supplement to Domínguez's Diccionario nacional (ed. of 1878). One is, "In the Indias it is understood as the distribution of lands or seigniorial domains granted to the settlers or conquistadors in a country." It is possible that the text refers to some of those military allotments, which might have descended unbroken to Maldonado's time; but it is much more probable that he uses the word in the sense of a measure for land. Caballería, in Andalusia, means also the area of sixty fanegas (or 3.8758 hectares) of land. [36] This sentence sounds somewhat contradictory to the following one; but it is the literal rendering of the Spanish, se graduaron con prelacion de los Legados à las deudas de Justicia. This is but one of many uncertainties in the text of Maldonado's work which presumably arise from the blunders of native amanuenses which he mentions at the beginning of chapter xvii; the translation is as close as possible, but in various places has been necessarily made more free than is usual in this series, in order to render intelligible involved, elliptical, or even apparently erroneous phraseology. [37] In the text, Escudo--a rather surprising and foreign use of this word instead of corona. [38] In the text, Tierras Tubiganes: tubigan is the Tagal word for Spanish aguanoso, meaning "wet," or "irrigated." [39] In the text, simenteras tabalcanes; but the word tabalcan does not appear in Tagal dictionaries, and is probably a misprint for tubigan, as a result of some error by Maldonado's native copyists. Quiñon in Spanish means "share" or "portion," usually of profit in an enterprise; but here it is evidently the Hispanicized form of the Tagal qiñong, which is defined by Noceda and Sanlucar as a land measure equivalent to 100 brazas square of area. [40] That is, the founder of the order, St. John of God.
