چکیده
Résumé P. E. H. Haïr — Milho, meixoeira et autres aliments de la garnison de Sofala, 1505-1525. Les archives du comptoir portugais de Sofala nous éclairent quelque peu sur la nature des plantes alimentaires utilisées au XVIe siècle sur la côte orientale. Les termes milho et meixoeira paraissent désigner respectivement le sorgho et le pennisetum, plutôt que le sorgho et le maïs, comme on l'avait supposé d'abord. Il est certain qu'après 1800 meixoeira s'applique bien au pennisetum, et il y a de fortes présomptions pour que les références antérieures doivent être interprétées de même. Les références au milho dans les récits de naufrages au Natal doivent très probablement s'appliquer au sorgho. Les autres aliments mentionnés sont les haricots, les pois et pois de terre, et les huiles végétales locales.
