Note

"The author of the Relaçam is unknown. At the time of making the original publication, as appears from the printer's notice, he was yet living. No doubt he was one of the eight Portuguese gentlemen, spoken of in the text, who went from Elvas to join Soto at Sevilla, three of whom lost their lives in Florida."--Narratives of the career of De Soto, tr. by Buckingham Smith, 1886, p. xxvii. cf. also D. G. Brinton, "Notes on the Floridian peninsula," 1859, p. 19-21.
