Note 472 — III The Sixteenth Century [1502-80] (continued 2)

Corrêa himself seems to have been rather unsuccessful than scrupulous in amassing money. He tells without a hint of embarrassment (ii. 432) how he took the white and gold scarf (rumal) of the murdered Resnordim (or Rais Ahmad) and sold it for 20 xarafins (about £7), and (iii. 281) helped to dispose of stolen goods in 1528 at Cochin.
