A chain of kings
His karaeng-title before he became ruler was Karaeng ri Bontolangkasaq.
After his father was beheaded, he went over to the people of Boné.
Gallarrang Mangasa was sent with I Loqmoq ri Manrimisiq. In the morning
they went out to Bongkanga with Kajao La Liddong. Together [the parties]
agreed. It was called the treaty on the north of Boné. Precisely there was
established the Three Lands 97 by Karaeng Tumamenang ri Makkoayang.
After agreeing 98 with the people of Boné he came out to Makassar. Upon
arriving there he was installed as ruler by Tumamenang ri Makkoayang.
For twenty-five years he ruled 99 then died. He died cut down on board
ship, on the north side of Agangnionjoq, seawards of Lipukasiq, during harvest
in Maros, on the third night of the month, cut down by his milk-sibling.
One from Majannang named I Lolo Tamakana 100 cut him down.
Shortly before going to Boné, his first cousin he married: the child of
Tunipalangga named I Daeng Malelei. In fact, she had been his fiancee since
she was small.
There had been an unmarried woman in the household of Tunipalangga
named I Kare Leo, the child of a gallarrang of one from Polombangkeng,
whom he wronged. 101 Discovered by Karaeng Tunipalangga, who was
angered, the woman was bound and thrown into the sea. Fearful, Karaeng
Tunijalloq fled into Boné. The ruler of Boné then was called I La Bongkang.
While the karaeng was in Boné he was twice wounded by darts. He married
while in Boné. She whom he married was also Makassarese, named I Kare
Pate, the child of I Kare Mangenjeng, one from Polombangkeng who had fled
there. While the karaeng was in Boné he was much liked by the Arumpone.
When Tunipalangga died, a summons came from his father. Eight nights after
his uncle’s death 102 he arrived there. He then married Karaeng ri Lakiung.
Twenty nights he ruled, Karaeng Tunibatta. Then he went into Boné.
Going also, Karaeng Tunijalloq entered Boné with his father. 103 Tunibatta
died. Coming out from there, he was installed as ruler by Tumamenang ri
Makkoayang. When he buried his uncle he also buried his own grandmother
named Karaeng Loe Baine.
Upon ruling he married Karaeng I Waraq, the child of Karaeng Loe ri
Katingang. An anaq karaeng of one from Anaq Sappu was her mother. Only
three times had he visited her at night when she was cut down by Karaeng
ri Lakiung inside the karaeng’s chamber. The keeper of his dogs killed her in
the night. 104 Karaeng ri Lakiung died.
He then married the child [28r] of Tumamenang ri Makkoayang by
Karaeng ri Somba Opu. May I not be cursed, her personal name was I
Sambo. Her royal name was I Daeng Niasseng. Her karaeng-title before she
ruled 105 was Karaeng ri Pattingalloang. She was the mother of Tumamenang
ri Gaukanna.
And her sister [Tunijalloq married too]. Karaeng I Waraq bore Tunijalloq
