69 [p. 163, n. 1] In “Rapport van ‘s Compagnies Recht,” p. 56, the name is recorded as De Haze.
70 [p. 163, n. 2] Elsewhere this ruler is called Asam Hamja Fahruldin or Hamja Vaharudin. The
contract was renewed when he came to the throne on July 31.
71 [p. 163, n. 3] In van der Crab, the name is given as Sultan Said Fathulah. This is one of his
titles, not his name. Van der Crab does not know how long this ruler reigned; nor does he know the
duration of the rule of the next six rulers. The Sultan of Ternate told me that Toloko ruled until
1126 A.H. = 1714 A.D.
72 [p. 163, n. 4] Valentijn confuses this ruler with his predecessor, for he reports (1724, Ib:112)
that Hamza Faharuddin was also called Abul Falal el Mantsuri. Therefore, what he says about the
Sultan’s relations with the governors applies in part to Abul Falalal Mansur. In van der Crab he is
called Abal Vadlalil Mansur, and the duration of his reign is uncertain.
73 [p. 163, n. 5] The contract is dated January 2, 1709.
74 [p. 163, n. 6] The tombstones of Petersom and Happon can be found in the present church of
the Protestant congregation. According to the engravings on these tombs, Petersom died on June 24,
1714, and Happon on February 5, 1727.
75 [p. 163, n. 7] In van der Crab it is not stated how long this Sultan reigned, although it is
mentioned in the Notes on Naidah. According to the records of the Sultan, he reigned until 1165
A.H. = 1751 A.D.
