Böeseken se Addendum van Kaapse slawe-verkoopstransaksies: Foute en regstellings", Kronos (Foute en regstellings) 9 (1984): Wanneer ‘n document byvoorbeeld die naam “Thunis Abrahamsz from Vlissingh” bevat, kom dit in die addendum (p. 133, 6.1.1677) as “Theunisz (signature Anthonis) Abrahams van Vlissingen” voor. Omdat die hand-tekening van die person en die wyse waarop die amptenaar sy naam in die dokument geskryf het dikwels van mekaar verskil, het Böeseken tereg dit tussen hakies aangedui. In die onderhawige geval gee sy te kenne is in die handtekening “Anthonis” geskryf. Maar dit is nie so nie. Die person het duidelik leesbaar “Anthonijs Abrahamsen” geteken..
