Miohqsoo, or Myoxeo, was another noted Indian of Nope. He was a convert of Hiacoomes, whom he had sent for to inquire of him about his God.
1853, Sarah Sprague Jacobs, Nonantum and Natick, Massachusetts Sabbath School Society, p. 189, R. Gookin calls it Nope; other writers call it Capawack. It is the island known to us as Martha's Vineyard...As Mr Eliot's first convert, Waban, was, through life, a sober, upright man, so Hiacoomes, the first Christian Indian of Nope, always preserved an unspotted reputation.
A catechism in the dialect of the Indians of Nope or Martha's Vineyard.
