Dear all:
What does "little else of" mean in the following passage? It is from the book The East India Company in Persia by Peter Good, p. 25.

John Keay asserts that the period between 1710 and 1740, with the exception of the receipt of the Mughal Farman from Farrukhsiyar in 1716, was ‘a glassy wave of unruffl ed tideway [which] invites no frantic recourse to the records’. Yet these decades are only fallow when viewed from the perspective of India, and even then with significant caveats, where trade continued, though little else of consequence seems to have occurred.

Thanks a million.

Not much of anything else. Little of anything else.
though little else of consequence seems to have occurred.
...though there wasn't much else of consequence that seems to have occurred.
