However, the Moors took no account of this and despised him, he later found himself in such poverty that he found it necessary to become a tailor in order to earn enough to eat. Then he had joined the Turks and had helped them well in the battle just ended, for after his capture some said they had seen him firing. In that battle two Portuguese died, and others were wounded. From Muscat Eytor da Silveira went to spend the monsoon in Ormuz, leaving there at the end of August for the headland at Diu.
