of Mcnjapahit and of the Wazir (Minister) Pateh Gajah Mada 

 (*) aud the destruction of the country of Munjapahit which ensued, 

 Bruni ceased to send the tribute of a jar of the young Pinang 

 fruit (green betel nut). 



In the reign of Sultan Bahkei, ( 5 ) of the kingdom of Johor, 

 he summoned the Tuan Alah Bertatak and Pateh Beebi to 

 Johor, and, when they arrived there, they were invested as Sultan 

 Mahomed by the Tang di Pertuan of Johor, and he gave them 

 the nob at nagdra and gunta aldmat, and five countries — Kalakah, 

 Seribas, Sadong, Semerahan, and Sarawak — Pateh Beebi being 

 appointed Bendahara Sri Maharaja. 



After having remained some time in Johor, His Majesty the 

 Sultan Mahomed returned to Bruni. He had no sons and only 

 one daughter. 



Before this (see Note II.) the Emperor of China had sent two 

 of his officers, named "Wang Kong and Ong Sum Ping, to get the 

 gemdla (jewel) of the Dragon, which lived on the China Balu. A 

 great number of the Chinese were lost, being eaten by the Dragon, 

 which retained its jewel, and thus the mountain was called China 

 Balu. But Ong Sum Ping conceived a device for deceiving the 

 Dragon ; he put a candle in a glass case, and, while the Dragon was 

 out feeding, he took the jewel, putting the candle in its place, the 

 Dragon thinking his gemdla still safe. The treasure having been 

 thus obtained, all the junks set sail to return to their country, and 

 when they had got some distance from the mountain, Wang Kong 

 demanded the jewel from Ong Sum Ping, and they quarrelled, but 

 Wang Kong insisted on the surrender of the jewel, so that Ong 

 Sum Ping w r as angry and would not return to China, but turned 

 back and sailed to Bruni, and, having arrived there, he married the 

 Princess, the daughter of the Sultan Mahomed (see Note III.) , 

 and the Sultan gave over the sovereignty to his son-in-law Sultan 

 Akhmed. 



(4) G-ajah Mada was the Minister of Angea Wijaya. Pateh Berbi, in 

 another version of the Selesilah, which was given to me bj Pangiran Kasuma, 

 ia represented as the brother of Sultan Mahomed. 



(5) Johor was not established as a kingdom at the time of these events, and 

 the Sultan mentioned must have reigned in Malacca, which was taken by the 

 Fei'tuguwe in 3500, Johoi 1 being established the following year.
