Esok hari sesudah keluarga Rating
tinggal di Tampang, kini tersisa tiga
buah rakit saja yang masih berhanyut.
Mengiringi embun pagi yang masih turun
sehari kemudian, ayam jantan mereka itu
berkokok lagi. Rakit lalu bertambat di
situ, tempat itu lalu dinamakan mereka
Tarawan.
Mina Biran kebetulan seorang
perempuan janda, serta anggota
keluarganya kebanyakan perempuan,
meminta merekalah yang menetap di
tempat ini. Alasannya karena di tepi
sungai, untuk membuat tempat tinggal
pepohonannya tidak terlalu besar, hingga
mereka mudah menebangnya. Dahulu
kala kaum wanita di kalangan suku
Dayak pun pandai juga memakai baliung
(sejenis kapak) untuk menebang.
Tempat itu sekarang sudah tidak
ada lagi dan besar kemungkinan mereka
pindah serta membangun pemukiman
baru di desa Pahawan sekarang.
The next after Rating and his family
stayed in Tampng, the last three rafts
still continue their journey. The day after
tomorrow following the early dews, the
rooster called. They dcked the rafts and
named the place Tarawan.
Mina Biran was a widow, along with
the rest of the family who were mostly
women, asked for them to stay in the
area. The reasons were that it was located
near the riverside so the trees were not
too big, it would be easier for them to
cut down trees and build them a new
home. Even at that time, the women of
Dayak were able to make their own axe
(baliung) to cut trees down.
The place no longer exists. It was
presumed that they had moved to a new
village in Pahawan village today.
