Entry

The envoy and trading manager (財富) Ba-zhi Man-rong from the country of Java, said: "Originally, I was surnamed Hong, with the given name Mao-zai and I hailed from Long-qi County in Fu-jian. I engaged in fishing as an occupation but was captured by the Japanese (番倭). Escaping from them, I made my way to Java where I changed my name to that I now use. Having been sent to offer tribute of local products, I have come to capital. I wish now to be allowed to return to my original occupation." The Emperor ordered the appropriate office to provide him with porters and food grain and send him back to his original home.
