All the gathered documents, copied from archives and books of the Cabildo, regarding the auction and final bid of the notaryship in 1600, along with the acts of the local authorities in 1607 confirming the claims of Silvestre de Balboa, were prepared to serve as documental evidence ina legal claims process that Balboa is obliged to initiate in order not to lose his notaryship, due to the period of time for royal confirmation having transpired.
