Abstract
After finishing the preparations and making a formal departure, the Jaqaj chose the routes to the site of the raid. Maqaomi and Jaro of Képi mentioned the main places they passed when they raided the Edera district: Toba, Kabé, Ménéamör (now called Cabang-tiga) Korombuag, and Jodom. They mentioned Korombuag where the first teachers lived but not nearby Tamao (also called the Mappi post) where the military had a station. Old Tambim of Képi once told me how, along the outer bank of the Mappi river, they rowed stealthily and cautiously past the Mappi post during the night and thus got into the Jodom area without being detected by the soldiers.
