In 1678, a report described agreements and conditions involving the Dutch East India Company (E. Comp) and local leaders in the region of Maccassar (modern-day Makassar). Here’s a summary of the key points:

• Radia Tanete promised to allow people who had been forced to move—specifically those from Sopingers, Lemoe, Caloeko, and Pietoeija—to return to their original homes near the old settlement of Sigery, located about ¾ mile up the Tomperonge River.
• Other villages like Chilalla, Katene, and Tompon were still occupied by Sigery people, though many had been taken over by the Bougis (Bugis) from Mangalla, led by Towallo, a relative of the local ruler.
• Several leaders and their followers were identified, including:
  • Boer Oekie (royal children of Tanete),
  • Gallan, Dain Mabella, and their people,
  • Kekcamradia Sopingh and Tomalalian Dain Mabanij,
  • Lamarante (responsible for settling Radia Palacca’s people),
  • Ten Enika Daan, Aroubello, Opribatan, and Sigoija (under Radia Tenet),
  • Oppadan Ten Ga Saait Aroupatoodio.
• The writer, Paulus D’Bocq, hoped that if the E. Comp firmly resisted the Bougis, the displaced people would soon return from hiding to their homelands.
• A list of taxes (tithes) collected by the E. Comp in July 1678 from various regions—Maros, Baras, Sian Bongor, Labacca, and Sigery—was included. The taxes were paid in rice and money by local leaders, such as:
  • Tolapang (2,523 bossen and ƒ from Tasabie),
  • Casie (son of Crain Linques, 510),
  • Crain Linques (2,200 from Marono),
  • O. Galanang (10,600 from Bontoija),
  • Ange Moere, Ange Rieko, and others (payments ranging from 260 to 1,150 bossen).
• The total recorded tax collection from these areas amounted to 20,018 bossen and additional sums in money.

The report was signed by Paulus D’Bocq in Castle Rotterdam, Maccassar, on August 28, 1678.

• On 17 October 1722, several ships arrived in or departed from Samarang:
  • Thomas Jacobsz Carpar, a citizen, sailed with a chaloup (small ship) of 45 last (a unit of weight) with 13 crew members, carrying no goods.

    • 1 corgie (a bundle) of biras (a type of fabric) clothes
    • 1 last of salt
• The record was signed by Rutger Erkelens at the Casteel Rotterdam on 31 October 1722.
• Between November 1722 and 31 December 1722, more ships arrived:
  • On 4 November 1722, Ceda, a nachoda, arrived in a gonting of 4 last with 20 crew, without a pass, carrying 5,000 old clappus and 400 units of bamboese (bamboo) cajelisz oil.
  • Poano Pietjoe, a nachoda from Macassar, arrived in a prauw pankor of 3 last with 7 crew, carrying 40 picols of Javanese tobacco, as per a pass dated 12 September.

• The text discusses the management of rice and other crops in several regions under the control of the Dutch East India Company (EComp:e) in June 8, 1699.
• The total expected rice harvest ("bosses") from the regions was estimated at 463,200 lasten (a unit of weight), with 75,085 gulden expected from the "proventie sigerij" (tobacco revenues).
• In one province, no villages or plantations were ready for harvest except in the fields of Samauga, where the rice was still 1.5 months away from being ready for harvest and processing.
• A sergeant named Pieter Pieter sz was instructed to oversee the process.
• The local planters were asked if they could supply a significant amount of rice in exchange for cloth at a fair price within 1 to 2 months. They responded that they were unable to do so due to a lack of labor to process the rice and claimed it was not important since outsiders could supply 10 times more than the locals.
• A list of regions and their rice production in "vel den" (fields) is provided:
  • Chilala: 3,838
  • Boeroek: 5,071
  • Tomporongo: 8,600

  • Lamaranti: 5,554
  • Mangalla: 10,604
  • Catena: 5,101
  • Jernika: 6,740
• The Dutch East India Company could be well supplied with rice from regions like Maros, Sian, Bongero, and Labaccan, where conditions were reported as reasonably good, with no significant complaints.
• Before the author's arrival, the region of Sagheter had been freed from the Dutch East India Company's jurisdiction. The local people were very poor, scattered, and burdened by the Bugis and Soopingers, who demanded heavy taxes and labor services.
• Specific individuals, such as Aroubello, Daijn Mabanij, and Daijn Mabella, forced the locals to pay 20% of their annual harvest.
• The author intervened, informing the people that they owed loyalty only to the Dutch East India Company, their rightful ruler. The people accepted this well.
• With temporary approval, the author placed the region under the leadership of Craijn Maroe, a respected local leader from a prominent family, who had managed to keep the people united despite difficulties.
• Craijn Maroe was brought to meet the authorities, and along the way, the author helped resettle some people who had fled their homes in Labaccan and Bongero due to fear of the Bomers (likely referring to people from Bone or a similar group).
• Craijn Maroe was willing to discuss further matters with the authorities if deemed useful.
