Commentary	Van Diemen's house was evaluated at 2600 gulden, his barge (schuijt) at 325 gulden. Among the bad debts due to the estate: Jan van de Velde, schilder, 17 gulden 10 stuivers. On 31 March 1623, Arent Cornelisz. was betrothed to Elberich Thomas (DTB 427/464). Abraham de Schilder, cited in the INTRO, was a buyer at WK auction (R 20401 of Montias2). On 6 March 1636, Susanna Abrahams, 36, and Marritge Dortman, 49, widow of Jan Paulusz. Hartman, declared at the request of Elbrechge Thomas, wife of Arent Cornelisz. (van Diemen), that, at the last sale of porcelain held by the V.O.C., she had brought various papers and money to Pieter Gerritsz. Haringh, bode of the W.K., which she had handed to him and received a receipt (bescheijt) for it (NA 1279, Not. Barcman). On 16 May of the same year, Daniel van Beuningen, 33, bode of the W.K. declared at the request of the honorable Gerrit Jacobsz. Haringh, likewise bode of the W.K., that Elbrechge Thomas, wife of Arent Cornelisz., some time ago, had brought to his (van Beuningen's) house a sum of money in cash (specificatie or species) for 3000 f. Elbrechge Thomas had said that he, the witness, had received f. 1000 more than he had signed for. This was manifestly untrue (ibid.)
