Sultan Kāyib given by Sharif Ali probably is Baratamay. There is no indication in the records that Tamay, Burhān, Jamālu-l-Ālam, and Banswīl were ever rajas of Bwayan, as Sharif Afdal seems to think. The records that seem most reliable are those in the possession of Datu Mastūra, which are herein translated.

The missing link, as far as these records and the notes of the author are concerned, is the relation between Sultan Maytŭm and his predecessors. Common opinion declares him to be a son of Pakīr Mawlāna, but this does not seem probable, and it is certainly not in the records of Magindanao, though these are reasonably accurate and complete. Sharif Ali, in his list, makes no distinction between a successor and a son; most people have the same idea, which is very misleading, to say the least. From the facts obtainable it seems probable that Sultan Maytŭm was the son of either Sultan Sakandar of Rakūngan or Datu Mapūti, the uncle of Sakandar. This is corroborated by the fact that the chief line of descent has been in the line of Datu Mapūti, the son of Raja Sirūngan, and his grandson, Sabaraba. The opinion of the sheikh-a-datu of Mindanao is that Sultan Maytŭm was the son of Datu Mapūti, who would be the most eligible to the succession.

Jamālu-l-Ālam mentioned here is Sultan Kahāru-d-Dīn Kuda of Magindanao. Sahīd Wapāt, or Amīru-d-Dīn, is Sultan Jāpar Sādik Manāmir of Magindanao. Mupāt Batwa is Sultan Dipatwān Anwār. Pakīh Mawlāna Alīmu-d-Dīn is Sultan Pakīr Mawlāna Kayru-d-Dīn Kamza. Panglu is Sultan Pakāru-d-Dīn.

From Sultan Maytŭm down the succession is accurately known. The sultanate has evidently been divided. Marajānun or Bāngun, the older brother, succeeded to Bwayan and all the country lying on the left bank of the Pulangi and the Sapakan Rivers and all the country between Sapakan and the lakes of Ligwasan and Bulawan. Bāyaw, known as the sultan of Kudarangan, succeeded to Kudarangan and all the northern half of the sultanate.

Datu Ūtū succeeded his father, Marajānun, and lived first at Bwayan. After the Terrero campaign of 1886 he moved to Sapakan. His full name is Sultan Anwāru-d-Dīn Ūtū.

The sultan of Kudarangan was succeeded by his son, the sultan of Tambilawan. Tambilawan is the name of the sultan’s residence and lies on the right bank of the Rio Grande a short distance above Kudarangan. The sultan of Tambilawan is a weak leader, and the chief power of the land has fallen to his brother, Datu Ali, who is a noted warrior among the Moros.
