A chain of kings
karaeng was I Cikondo; his royal name was I Daeng Boting); the people of
Maros (their karaeng, I Karrang was his name; his royal name was I Daeng
Marewa, the child of a Bugis female who was a slave of Tunikakasang.)
Akkotengang we befriended, with Sawitto. Sidénréng we also befriended.
After the karaeng died, they left us, taken by the people of Soppéng.
This karaeng was loved by the tumailalang, by the anaq karaeng, loved by
the tumalompo, by the gallarrang, by the tau taqballaq, and was loved too by
Tumamenang ri Gaukanna.
This is what is told of him. 125
Section 7: Tunipasuluq
Tunijalloq had a child Tunipasuluq. Tunijalloq died. Karaeng Suluka became
ruler. His personal name was I Tepu Karaeng. His royal name was I Daeng
Parabbung. His karaeng-title before he ruled was Karaeng Bontolangkasaq.
Once he was ruling, he expelled I Daeng ri Tamacina as tumailalang, took
his servants and their overseers, established his servants as bound followers
too. 126
It was he who titled tumailalang Karaeng ri Patteqne. His personal name
was I Tamanggoa. His royal name was I Daeng Arenne.
At fifteen years he became ruler and ruled two years and was cast out.
He clashed with the people of Boné in Meru. He subdued Daeng Marewa
in Kaluku. He conquered Boq Loe.
Once he was expelled and inside Luwuq, he entered Islam. Twenty-four
years after being cast out he died over on Buton.
He had three children by his slave wife: one daughter, two sons.
On 1 Rajab 1026 of the Islamic calendar, the 5th night of July, Tunipasuluq
was expelled. 127 It was year 1617 of the Christian calendar [when he died].
It was this karaeng who organized the people of the karaeng by forming
people into the Bate Salapang bearing half-banners.
It was this karaeng too who first enjoyed small firearms, iron vests, swords,
long krisses.
Three nights after Karaeng Tunijalloq died and he [Tunipasuluq] was presented
by Karaeng Matoaya with what was his [and his] people.
He also forbid his subjects from honouring his two elder siblings. This
karaeng expelled people though they committed no wrong knowingly, or just
suddenly had them killed. All the Javanese 128 departed. The anaq karaeng fled
too. Not fleeing were Karaeng Matoaya, Karaeng ri Barombong, Karaeng ri
Dataq, a child of Karaeng Caqdia, Karaeng Baroqbosoq, Karaeng Alluq, a
child of Karaeng Matoaya, Karaeng Maros, Karaeng Patteqne.
Other actions of his were said to be wrong. Those who know say we
should not know. It is not good to speak of them. 129
