“9.4.1700: Rijnhea from Madras (14), sold by Heribertus van Dompselaar to Ambrosius Zassee for an unspecified sum”.
…
In die eerste transaksie is die slaaf se naam verkeerd. In die document staan geskryf: Rijnhirt van Madagaskar! Hy word ook nie verkoop nie, maar “by somme van schenkagie en vereering” bemaak. Dit verklaar waarom daar geen bedrag as koopsom vermeld is nie.. Hereinafter cited as "Foute en regstellings."
