Seu filho, D. Diogo de Mariz, que devia mais tarde proseguir na carreira de seu pai, e que lhe succedeo em todas as honras e foraes; ainda moço, no vigor da idade, quasi sempre estava ausente ou em correrias, ou na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
His son, D. Diogo de Mariz, who was one day to carry on his father's career and who succeeded him in all his honours and charter-rights; still young, in the prime of his age, he was almost always away, either on forays or in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
His son, D. Diogo de Mariz, meant one day to follow his father's career and inherited all his honours; still young, in his prime, he was almost always away — on forays or in the city of Rio.
