126 VALENTYN’S DESCRIPTION OF MALACCA. 
After the taking of Bintam, the King of Djohor left the 
Portuguese unmolested for some time. 
In 1527 Grorco Kapraat was appointed eighth Governor of 
Malakka, and nothing of importance occurred during his gov- 
ernment, the King of Djohor being still at peace with the 
Portuguese. 
In 1528 the Viceroy Loprz pre Sampaso appointed Prrer 
pe Far ninth Governor of Malakka, and his government was 
also a peaceful one, the King of Djohor not having yet re- 
covered the shock his power had received. 
In 1529 Garcia be Sa arrived at Malakka as the tenth 
Portuguese Governor. 
The inhabitants of Atsjien (in Sumatra) gave him much 
trouble, but we will treat the subject later, when we deal with 
the affairs of that island, mentioning only this that Garcra 
having discovered that one SanaGE was conspiring with the 
enemy ordered him to be thrown out of the tower of the 
fortress. 
I cannot say who succeeded Garcra dE Sa as Governor of 
Malakka, but I have been able to trace the names and dates of 
the following Governors , viz.. StEPHANUS Gama in 1037, Ruy 
Paz ParEira in 1545, Simon MeEto in 1547, PEpRo DE SyLva 
in 1551, and his brother Don ArnBaro Araypo in 1582. 
JT am equally ignorant of the names of the Governors from 
the last- mssnouvedl date up to 1604, when that brave Portuguese 
Don Anprea Furrapo pp Menpoza (of whom we will speak 
more at length later) administered the supreme authority as 
Governor of this place. 
We cannot say much about the events of that period, the 
Portuguese historians having recorded nothing about them. 
AuMeD Ssan, the exhausted King of Djohor (7.e., after 
the failure of his repeated attacks on the Portuguese ), con- 
tinued to rule his country till 1540, and was succeeded after a 
reign of twenty-seven years by Sultan ALAWODDIN SJAH, 
(“ Ava-ippin Suan,” Malaice “ Aua-tprn”’) who was the 
fourteenth King of the Malays, the second of Djohor, and the 
eighth Nenenedan King. 3
