470 Susuhunan, contracted into Sunnan, implies the object of reverence, or the revered. This title was given by the Javanese to the Arabian teachers and leading men, who first came to Java and taught Mahomedanism. The title was afterwards transferred to their successors and to the princes of Mataram, who, after the fashion of every Mahomedan government, are placed at the head of all matters belonging either to spiritual or temporal affairs. This name has been retained, till the present day, for the emperor of Surakarta or Solo.
