The great Afonso Dalboquerque, at the news which Fernão Martinz Evangelho wrote of the journey of Miliqueaz to the King of Cambay's Court, became very disappointed, and was much afraid that the proposed affair of building a fortress in Diu would not be productive of any material success, and that Miliqueaz would injure the matter even in a greater degree by his visit in person than he had already done by his letters, although up to this time he (Afonso) had great hopes of succeeding if he could trust the intelligence which Milecopi had announced to him through Tristão Déga. And with the intention of carrying out this policy, he sent Diogo Fernandez de Béja and James Teixeira, as ambassadors to treat of this matter with the king; and through them he sent as a present to the king, a collar of gold, enamelled, and a dagger with its sheath all gold and niello-work, and a creese of gold and ten covados of black velvet, and a piece of green brocade from Persia, and two other pieces from China, and a washhand basin with its double-handled ewer, all very well gilded.
