that kingdom, as we shall relate in due course 1 . In the 

 bastion of Santo Antonio was stationed Luis da Costa, and in 

 that of Madre de Deos 2 Estevao Correa, both married in the 

 country ; on the stretch of wall that runs to Sao Gonsalo were 

 placed Tanavira 3 arache and Mattheus 4 Gonsalves arache 5 

 with their lascarins, whilst to Pero 6 Toscano fell the bastion 

 of Sao Gonsalo 7 , and to Chinapuli 8 and Sebastiao Bayao 9 the 

 stretch of wall that goes from it to Sao Miguel, and in this 

 bastion was stationed Domingos Marques ; and on the stretch 

 that goes from it to the bastion of Conceicao the captain 

 placed some dorias 10 with their pachas 11 , who are a people base 

 in blood but brave in warfare. In the bastion of Nossa 

 Senhora da Conceicao 12 he placed Antonio Pereira and another 

 man married in the country ; and Pedro Afonso arache on the 

 stretch that runs from it to the watch-tower of Sao Paulo and 



1 This promise Couto fulfilled in his Eleventh Decade (of. infra, XII. 

 i. vi., p. 410), which, unhappily,' has disappeared beyond hope of 

 recovery. 



2 This bastion derived its name from a church that stood near it 

 inside the fortress (see C. A. S. Jl. xii. 78, and plan of Columbo in Le 

 Grand's trans, of Ribeiro). 



3 Both the manuscript and the printed edition have " Tavira " ; but 

 in X. x. ii. infra the name is correctly spelt in two places (pp. 310, 312). 



4 In X. x. ii., where this man is twice mentioned (pp. 310. 312) in 

 conjunction with Tanavira, he is called " Manoel." 



5 The manuscript has " Mochoria," and the printed edition 

 ; ' Mocheria," which may represent " Modeliar " or " Mohotiar " ; 

 but, as he is afterwards described as an arache, I have substituted 

 this word. 



6 The printed edition has " Prospero," whilst the manuscript reads 

 " pois Pero " : that the latter is the correct reading is proved by the 

 mention of the man subsequently (p. 307), where the two versions agree 

 in naming him <s Pe(d)ro." 



7 This bastion and that of S. Miguel overlooked the lake. We are 

 now beginning to go westward. 



8 A Tamil, judging by his name (? Chinnappuli = " little tiger "). 

 Or perhaps Singappuliya is intended. 



9 The manuscript has the contracted form " BastiaS." Perhaps a 

 son of Andre Bayao Mudaliyar, mentioned on p. 247 supra as 

 Dharmapala's ambassador to the king of Siam in 1565. We shall 

 hear of other members of this family, whose Sinhalese name I do not 

 know. 



10 Sinhalese durayd, headman of the jaggery, &c, caste. In Valen- 

 tyn {Ceylon 5) " dureas." 



11 See supra, p. 106, note 2 ; p. 230. 



J2 This is probably the same bastion that Saar erroneously calls 

 " Capoccin " (see C. A. S. Jl. xii. 79).
