The amounts due to the 107 crew members do not include the amounts given to them in Seville as relief accounting for their salary. As such, the first person cited, Ferdinand Magellan (sheet 1 recto), was owed 116,533 (1 maravedis = 4.50 USD) maravedíes (Iberian coins), and was paid 48,000 before embarking. His time of service had been 20 months and 21 days, amounting to 8,000 maravedíes monthly.
