79 [p. 165, n. 1] The dates for his reign and for those of the next three Sultans were given to me by
the present Sultan. A few of the dates given by van der Crab (in TKI) are less correct.
80 [p. 165, n. 2] According to van der Crab, he came to the throne on February 7, 1757. It is,
however, the date of the confirmation of his appointment by the Government.
81 [p. 165, n. 3] This is the earliest eruption of that mountain that is known on Ternate.
According to the Chronicle of the Sultan, it took place on Monday night on the 11th of the month of
Safar in the year 1174 A.H. How many people lost their lives on this occasion was not mentioned,
but it was reported that the people who fled from Makian lived for seven years at Daulasi on the
island of Ternate. (Cf. Veth, in Wallace 1870-1871, I:29 note 6, from which it appears that Pijnappel
was well informed.)
82 [p. 165, n. 4] He did this in a contract dated June 12, 1768, ratified on July 20 by the Sultan in
a separate deed (see Haga 1884, I:262).
83 [p. 165, n. 5] In van der Crab, p. 296, the name is given as Arum Syah or Hinun Syah. (See
note 79 above [p. 165, n. 1].)
