This induced Juan Dias d'Almeda and Diogo Mendez Botelho to confide to us a chest which contained a quantity of money. My comrade, driven by I know not what necessity, or perhaps by envy, had a false key made, and withdrew one thousand rupees from the chest. This he did in the face of all that I could say to prevent him. Some months afterwards the two Portuguese came and removed their chest. It was not long before they noticed that one thousand rupees were deficient from the total sum. They complained, but as we were well supported we rejected their demand in sharp terms, and ejected them from our house, protesting that they were forgers and rogues. - [Previous: 281.9.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.9.2) - [Next: 281.9.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.9.4) - [Up: 281.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.9.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.9.3) · Pramāṇa
