Böeseken se Addendum van Kaapse slawe-verkoopstransaksies: Foute en regstellings", Kronos (Foute en regstellings) 9 (1984): In die transaksie van 7.7.1693 (wat eintlik 7.6.1693 moet wees) meld Böeseken dat Antoni van Cochin (10/12) vir 70 Rds. verkoop is terwyl die veel ouer Marten van Coromandel (20/21) slegs 50 Rds. gehaal het. Dan sê sy: “At the same time Cupido of Orixa was sold (no price mentioned)”. Dit is egter nie ‘n goeie weergawe van wat in die document staan nie. Cupido van Orixa, wat ook maar net 9/10 jaar oud was, is eintlik saam met Antoni van Cochin vir 70 Rds. verkoop. Dit verklaar waarom hulle gesamentlike koopsom eintlik hoër was as die van hul ouer metgesel. Die koper se naam, Jan D. de Beer, is hier ook uitgelaat terwyl dit wel in die document vermeld word..

At the same time Cupido of Orixa was sold (no price mentioned).
