  5. [S606] J.L. (Leon) Hattingh, "Foute en regstellings", Want onderaan bladsy 163 en bo-aan bladsy 164 van die addendum lees ons die volgende twee weergawes:

    “2.12.1693, p. 405: Stephan from the Coast (50), Isabel from Bengal (17/18) and her sons Adam (three years) and Nooll (six months), as well as Arent from Madagascar, sold by Hendrick Persijn to Gerrit Jansz van Deventer. No price mentioned”.

    Die tweede lees:

    “2.12.1693, p. 407: Gerrit Jansz van Deventer sold the slaves mentioned above back to Hendrick Persijn. Again no price is mentioned”.

    So gestel maak die twee transaksies beslis geen sin nie. Waarom al die moeite aangegaan om ‘n tweede document op te stel terwyl dieselfde doel bereik kon word deur die eerstee envoudig te kanselleer. Die stukke kry egter ‘n ander betekenis en maak ook sin as dit noukeurig gelees word. Nooll is in die eerste plek Noah en Arent van Madagaskar is 22/23 jaar oud. Maar die betrokke slawe word nie verkoop nie, daarom word geen koopprys vermeld nie. Die eerste document stel heel duidelik dat hulle “ter goeder trouwe verruijld en vermangeld” word. Persijn het pas, te oordeel aan die voorafgaande akte, wat Böeseken nie rapporteur nie, ‘n plaas van Gerrit Jansz van Deventer gekoop asook sy erf in Tafelvallei. As deel van die transaksie en waarskynlik ook omdat Arent aan Madagaskar jonger was en dus bruikbaarder behoort te wees, ruil die twee nou hulle slawe. In die plek van die twee Oosterse slawe, Stephan en Isabel met die twee kinders, gee Van Deventer sy jonger slaaf, Arent van Madagaskar – dit word dus ‘n betekenisvolle transaksie. Die wedersydse oordrag verg gevolglik twee afsonderlike aktes waarin oor en weer gegee en ontvang word.
