* The Dutch renditions of his name (Sahid by Tiele, Sultan Berkat by Robidé van der Aa, Sahid Berkat in Valentijn and de Jonge, and Saioedin by Van der Crab) appear to be incorrect. A letter from him to the Portuguese Viceroy at Goa, India, dated 1596 where his signature clearly reads Ini alamat Sultan Ni'mat Allah (or Ni 'matullah) Sa'id Sa'adat Syah or “this is the sign of Sultan Ni'matullah Sa'id Sa'adat Syah”.
