The stories of the last division are the most frequently heard and, as already indicated, are told by all.

最後の区分の物語は最も頻繁に聞かれるものであり、すでに示したように、誰もが語るものである。

It is evident even to the casual reader that these show much more evidence of outside influence than do the others; some, indeed, appear to have been recently borrowed from the neighboring christianized Ilocano. [2]

これらが他のものよりもはるかに多くの外部の影響の証拠を示していることは、無造作な読者にも明らかである。実際、いくつかは近隣のキリスト教化されたイロカノから最近借用されたように見える。[2]

Tales of the Mythical Period

神話時代の物語

_Reconstruction of the Culture_.--In the first division certain actors occur with great frequency, while others always take the leading parts.

文化の再構成。――第一区分では、特定の登場人物が非常に頻繁に現れる一方で、他の登場人物は常に主要な役割を担っている。

These latter appear under a variety of names, two or more titles often being used for the same individual in a single tale.

後者は様々な名前で登場し、一つの物語の中で同一人物に対して二つ以上の名称が使われることも多い。

To avoid confusion a list of the fourteen principal actors and their relationships are given in the accompanying table.

混乱を避けるため、十四人の主要な登場人物とその関係の一覧を付属の表に示す。

It will appear that there are some conflicts in the use of names, but when it is realized that the first twenty-six myths which make up the cycle proper were secured from six story tellers coming from four different towns, the agreement rather than the disagreement is surprising.

名前の使用にいくつかの矛盾があることが分かるが、サイクル本体を構成する最初の二十六の神話が四つの異なる町から来た六人の語り手から収集されたことを考えると、不一致よりも一致の方が驚くべきことである。

As a matter of fact there is quite as much variation between the accounts of the same narrator as between those gathered from different towns.

実際のところ、同じ語り手の話の間にも、異なる町から集められた話の間と同じくらい多くの違いがある。
