TEANSCEIPTION AND TEANSLATION 



OF A 



HISTORIC TABLET 



Engraved on stone, in the Malay character, by the order of the 



Sultan Mahomed Tej-Waldin, in the year a.h. 1221 



(a.d. 1804), and now standing on the tomb of his 



son the Sultan Mahomed Jemal-tjl-Alam in 



the " Makam daunt,'' situated at the 



southern foot of Bukit Panggal in 



the city of Bruni — " the abode 



of peace." 



[ Copied on the 1st of June, 1873. ] 



This is the genealogy of the 

 Eajas who ruled over the coun- 

 try of Bruni, as set forth by 

 Datoh Imatjm Yakitb. He 

 heard it from the Merhoum 

 BoufGSir, who is called Sultan 

 Muaddtn and His Highness 

 Sultan Kemal-Addin. These two 

 Eajas ordered a record to be 

 written of their forefathers, in 

 order that it might be known 

 by all their descendants up to 

 the present time. G-od knows if 

 this is so.* 



Inilah Selesilah Eaja Eaja yang 

 karajaan di negri Bruni diniata- 

 kan uleh Datoh Imaum Takub 

 iya mendungar cleripada Mer- 

 houm Bongsu yang bernama 

 Sultan Muaddin, dan Paduka

 Ka dua Eaja itu meniurot me-

 Sepaya dikatahui uleh segala

* Wallahu Aklum — an expression used by Mahomedans to defend them* 

 selves from the sin of writing down or stating a fact which may not happen to be 

 correct.
