A royal permission allowed Diego Caballero, or an authorized agent, to keep twelve enslaved people in the pearl fishery and trade at Cubagua. The license shows how colonial authorities connected coerced African labor to pearl extraction, but a license alone does not prove that all twelve arrived. The cited study distinguishes this permission from confirmed arrivals.
