The temple is a Doric building, and outside it is a colonnade. And the temple is built of stone of the district. Its height up to the gable is sixty-eight feet, and its length 2,300 feet. And its architect was Libon, a native of Ellis. And the tiles on the roof are not of baked earth; but Pentelican marble, to imitate tiles.
In the mountains to the west of Restauracion the line jumps over to the headwaters of the Libon River, which it follows to the upper Artibonite, continuing along this river as far as Banica.
Not long after Awig went to take four small branches of the tree and he used magic, "I use my power so that when the four sticks will stand they will become a balaua." He used his power and truly the four sticks became a balaua and Aponibolinayen commanded someone to pound rice. Ten days later they made Libon, on the tenth night.
Not long after that they made Libon, and they invited Gaygayóma and all their relatives from the other towns and they danced for one month. Then the people from the other towns went home. As soon as all the people had gone home Aponitolau went to take back the boy to his mother Gaygayóma. When they arrived where Gaygayóma lived he gave the boy to her and he staid there three days.
Not long after they made Libon in the evening, and they commanded the spirit helpers to go and get betel-nuts. As soon as they arrived with the betel-nuts Aponitolau and Aponibolinayen commanded, "You betel-nuts go and invite all our relatives and Kabkabaga-an." So one of the betel-nuts went to the place where Kabkabaga-an lived.
Aponibolinayen said, "I will use magic, so that you, betel-nut, may reach the town of our relatives so that you invite all of them. When there is one who will not come, you grow on their knees, as long as they do not come." Not long after they made Libon in the beginning of the night. Those betel-nuts, whom they sent to invite, arrived, those which they sent to invite their relatives.
"That is good if it is what you desire," said Algaba. Not long after Aponibolinayen commanded people to pound rice, and others to get betel-nuts which were covered with gold. So they truly made Sayang. Not long after when it became evening they made Libon. "The best for us to do is to invite Aponibalagen, and all the people of Kadalayapan and some other places," said Algaba.
"Ala, let us build balaua anyway." Not long after they commanded people to pound rice, and as soon as Wanwanyen was ready she commanded someone to go and secure the betel-nuts which were covered with gold. As soon as they arrived they oiled them. When it became evening they made Libon. The next morning they sent the betel-nuts to invite their relatives. So they went.
Not long after they made balaua and when it became afternoon they made Libon and they commanded someone to go and get the betel-nuts which were covered with gold, so that they might send them to invite all the people in the world. As soon as the people whom they sent arrived they oiled the betel-nuts, and sent them to all parts of the world to invite all the people.
The evening of this day is known as Libon "plenty" or "abundance." Toward nightfall the mediums, and their helpers enter the dwelling and decorate it in a manner already described for the great ceremonies. Cords cross the room from opposite corners and beneath, where they meet, the medium's mat is spread. On the cords are hung grasses, flowers, girdles, and wreaths of young coconut leaves.
