Here they live in company with the 'most arrant dotish clowne' Dametas, his wife Miso and daughter Mopsa, rustic characters which supply a coarsely farcical element in the plot, certainly no less out of place and inharmonious in the play than in the romance.
This island is full of gardens and orchards, with plenty of various kinds of fruits, and excellent water, and the country produces abundance of miso and other grain, and breeds great numbers of small cattle; and the sea affords great plenty of excellent fish.
Pyrocles gives rendezvous both to Basilius and Gynecia in a dark and lonely cave, Dametas is sent to dig for hidden treasure, Miso to seek her maligned husband in the house of one of her female neighbours, and Mopsa to await the coming of Apollo in the wishing-tree. Musidorus and Pamela make for the coast, while Pyrocles goes to fetch his mistress Philoclea.
In modern maps this extensive line of coast is divided into the following separate territories, Inhambane, Sabia, Sofala, Mocaranga, Mozambico, and Querimba; which will be illustrated in future portions of this work. This word miso is probably an error of the press for mylyo, by which the African grain named millet is distinguished in other parts of Castaneda.
