The few books or documents belonging to the family of Bwayan or Kudarangan that I have seen are neat and well written. The dialect spoken in Saraya differs a little from that of Magindanao, but in the main they are one and the same dialect. This manuscript is strictly Magindanao in its dialect and in its style. The first two pages of this copy give the genealogy of Kabungsuwan from Mohammed and Adam; it is similar to that of Manuscripts Nos. I and II, and ends with Putri Māmūr, the daughter of Sarīp Kabungsuwan, who married Pulwa, the first Mohammedan datu of Bwayan.
The second part gives the descendants of Pulwa and the genealogy of the rajas of Bwayan. This is, however, incomplete and deficient. It stops at the seventh generation, which is practically midway, and does not distinctly state who were the rajas of Bwayan.
It is fuller than Manuscript No. II in giving the descendants of all the sons of Raja Sirūngan, but it does not proceed in the main line of descent as far and as fully as Manuscript No. II. The original scroll from which this copy was taken is evidently older than Datu Mastūra’s copy.
Literal translation of Manuscript No. III

They begot Sarīp Kabungsuwan. Sarīp Kabungsuwan begot, in Juhūr, Sambgan and a daughter, Mazawang.
Some time after that Sarīp Kabungsuwan came to Magindanao and married Putri Tunīna, whom Tabunaway and Mamālu found inside the bamboo. By Putri Tunīna he begot Putri Mīlagandi and Putri Māmūr. Sarīp Kabungsuwan brought his children Sambgan and Mazawang to the town of Magindanao. This finishes the book relative to the earlier ancestors.
