The Dayang Dayang 17 provided Tudong dulang 18 
and cotton for making lamp wicks. 
(ii) In the case of the death of a Sultan a special call 
was made on the people, the extent of which is not 
stated. 
10.—1 bohara 3 picul = 400 lb. 
11 — 1 yuta oxjuta. 1 million, sometimes used to express 10 catties; from 
the context it is used here in the latter sense. 
12. —Presumably the gold used for taxes was native gold from those two 
districts. This is of interest because only bare traces can be found up the 
Rejang River now, though a place called Makam up that river is still well- 
known for its former gold, which is said to have been of very fine quality. 
13. —The word here used in the manuscript is bangkis instead of upeti. 
bangkis means a present of a complimentary nature in contra-distinction 
to upeti , a tax, which is demanded by a ruler. 
14. — 1 picul — 133§fb. 
15. —1 senantan = 10 catties = 13J lbs. 1 catty = 1J lb. 
16. —This apparently is an error—it seems unlikely that an anak mentri 
should have to pay more than a mentri. Perhaps the number of senantan 
due from a mentri has been omitted. 
17. — Dayang Dayang— the wife or female children of the Datu, Mentri, 
etc., etc. 
13.— Tudong dulang is probably what is now known as tudong sarang or 
perhaps delamak. 
Tudong sarang is a cover for dishes, generally made of tire leaves of the 
nipa palm which are coloured and interwoven into patterns. 
Delamak is a silk cloth with gold thread interwoven, which is also used for 
covering dishes.
