The Portuguese in the Sea of Oman

_ 153 _ Thus I ask you for the love of God to send word to ask the governors of Sohar what reason they have for sending such news to these enemies to encourage them. Thus I ask you for the love of God to look upon us unfortunate ones and not to delay in your coming to attack these enemies. And this is what I ask and beg and what I promise I shall fulfil with great sincerity, and the sooner this happens the better. We are all with our eyes open, having waited long for your coming. I am sending this through the pilgrims. Not to take more time I shall not write any more at present. Sincerely and desirously, Reis Sharaf Adin.
