Though the text of this manuscript varies from that of No. VI, it very often mentions facts and names that are lacking in the latter and which help to complete the sense and the subject-matter of the tarsila. The first two words of the address Paduk Sari Sultan do not belong to the Mindanao dialect, but are Malay. This tarsila ends with the children of Barahaman and Jamalu-l-Alam, and evidently belongs to the period prior to the death of Pakir Mawlana, or his name and those of his brothers would otherwise have been mentioned. The third part is written in the Magindanao dialect and comprises the twelfth and thirteenth pages only. It shows the exact ancestral relation that exists between the ruling datus of Magindanao and the Iranun datus, and throws considerable light upon the nature and the tribal characteristics of the datuships or Moro communities. The principal ancestors of the sultans of Ramitan, Tubuk, Dissan, and Tapurug were Umang Nagu, Anta, and Umbun, respectively, and they were the grandchildren of Dimasangkay, the brother of Kapitan Lawut Bwisan, whose descendants are the sultans of Magindanao. Ramitan lies a little north of Baras and Malabang. Tubuk is the principal district in the immediate vicinity of Malabang. Dissan lies on the north shore of Lake Lanao. Being mainly written in Malay, this manuscript is of no literary value at all. That part of it written in the Magindanao dialect shows a slight admixture of the Iranun dialect. Both its composition and style are poor, and mistakes in spelling and writing abound. LITERAL TRANSLATION OF MANUSCRIPT NO. V PART I THIS IS THE GENEALOGY OF THE FOREFATHERS OF RAHABAN.
