[14] It is difficult to identify this town with exactness, but it is probably the same as the modern Pnom-penh (Panomping) on the great river Me-khong (also called Cambodia). The usurper of Langara's throne was Anacaparan (see Morga's account, in Vol. XV). [15] That is, the usurper Anacaparan. According to Morga, he resided at Sistor, which probably was the modern Udong. [16] Tiuman (Timoan, Timun) Island is off the eastern coast of the Malay peninsula; it is about ten miles long and five broad, and is a mass of rock, rising into heights of 2,000 to 3,000 feet. [17] Pedro de Ledesma, although an old man when he came to the islands, lived until 1625, after having filled several offices in his order--mainly at Manila, where he died. He brought seven missionaries with him (1596). [18] For meaning of this title, see Vol. XV, p. 88. [19] See Morga's account of this expedition (Vol. XV, pp. 160-168). Another relation (unsigned) is presented in a MS. document conserved in the Archivo general de Indias, with the pressmark: "Simancas-Secular; Cartas y expedientes del gobernador de Filipinas; años 1600 á 1628; est. 67, caj. 6, leg. 7." [20] According to the MS. mentioned in preceding note, this officer was Pedro de Beaztegui (probably for Verastegui). [21] Spanish, Avia yo andado todas estas estaçiones: an allusion to the "stations" which represent, in a Roman Catholic church, the stages in Christ's sufferings; and to the devotion which consists in making the circuit of these stations. [22] See Vol. XV, p. 206. [23] Apparently meaning here, "the country of the Irrayas," rather than the name of any distinct district. The Irrayas are in modern times a heathen tribe, of mixed Malay and Negrito blood, dwelling in the southern part of Isabela province, Luzón, on the western slopes of the Palanan range, and on tributary streams far up the Rio Grande de Cagayán. [24] The Angatatan River, on which is situated the hamlet of Magaldan; it falls into Lingayén Gulf. [25] Thus in Aduarte's text, but misprinted for Guadaira. Alcala de Guadaira is a small town in the diocese of Sevilla. [26] Prauncar, the son of Langara; he had been replaced on his throne by the Spanish adventurers. See Morga's account of Joan de Mendoza's expedition to Camboja, and the death of these two Dominicans, in Vol. XV, pp. 183-190, 244-247. [27] According to Morga's account, this friar was a Dominican. [28] The Dominicans made their first establishment at the City of Mexico in 1526; nine years later, their houses were organized into the province of Santiago de Mexico. In 1550, Chiapas and Guatemala were separated therefrom, and formed into a new province; and in 1592 permission was given to cut out still another, the province of Oajaca. Alonso de Vayllo was its second provincial (1594-97). See account of the Dominican order in Nueva España in the sixteenth century, in Bancroft's Hist. Mexico, ii, pp. 724-733. [29] i.e., "Christ became, for our sake, obedient even unto death."
