Other notes:
- The writing is dominated by the Lontarak Makassarese script, with some characters modified by Liem Kheng Yong, and features a combination with Hanzi. - Initially, this manuscript was rented out to the Peranakan Chinese community. - It is adapted from a Chinese folk legend. - There is a red author’s stamp, but it has faded. - Parts of the paper are torn, causing some of the text to be lost (from page 30r to 42v).
