    "Lang Onderwe(e)g from Malabar (17/18), sold by Claas Voshol, skipper on Mydrecht, to Christiaan Freser. No price mentioned. The slave was to serve Freser as long as his master lived, but would be freed when Freser died".

    Hierdie is ook nie 'n ten volle korrekte en betroubare weergawe van die oorspronklike document nie. Die betrokke slaaf word byvoorbeeld op grond van die twee persone se onderlinge vriendskap as 'n geskenk aangebied en daarom is daar nie sprake van 'n verkoopprys nie. Die voorwaarde was slegs dat hy nooit weer verkoop sal word nie, maar nie dat hy vrygestel moet word wanneer sy nuwe eienaar te sterwe kom nie. Alhoewel vrystelling by implikasie nie uitgesluit was nie, is dit 'n ongevraagde toevoeging. Die addendum behoort nie vertolking by voorbaat te verskaf nie.. Hereinafter cited as "Foute en regstellings."

  23. [S340] Eben De Klerk, "Meer oor Susanna Bibouw", This evidence was first reported by Mansell Upham as follows:

    Familia, 1/1989, Addenda & Corrigenda, "Bibouw (1986.4 pp 70-72); E. de Klerk, "Die verhaal van Susanna Biebouw" mentions that the name Diana only occurs four times in slave transactions 1658-1687 as set out in A.J. Boeseken: Slaves and Free Black at the Cape 1658-1700. The attention of Susanna Bibouw's descendants, however, is drawn to the following slave transaction which may shed more light on the Diana-mystery:

    '. . . 12.1963, p. 442: Diana from Madagascar (24/25) sold by Christiaen Freser to Didlof Bidouw for Rds.90'

    (A.J. Boeseken, op. cit., p. 164)
