BirthOrigin*

Scipio was from Malabar Coast and perhaps born there circa 1674.¹

Names in the record, in publications, etc.

4 August 1688, the name of Scipio was written in the record as Scipio van der Kust Coromandel.²

Slave Transactions

On 24 January 1687 Scipio van Malabar was sold by Jan Bouman to Jan Dircks de Beer, for Rds. 20.³
On 4 August 1688 Scipio van Malabar was sold by Jan Dircksen de Beer to Dirck van Cuijck, for Rds. 40. Although identified in this record as from the Coromandel Coast, I have assumed, with a view toward further discovery in the record, that this is the same individual purchased by Jan Dircks de Beer in 1687.²
