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 stamp of the author that reads: “LIEM KHENG YONG-MAKASSAR.” - There are termite-damaged holes that caused parts of the text to be lost from folio 14r to 42v. - There is a writing error in the colophon regarding the year. It states 1939, but the correct year is 1929.
