I found the following passages in the old book listed below.
26th Event.
The dynasty of Giona or Hi-Auna begins to rule over the men of Caziba or royal caves in Cauta.
This family of rulers or Cazics became famous afterwards as we shall see, as leaders of tribes to America.
We can easily perceive here the ancient Pelagian tribes of Ionia and Aones. Hi-Auna means the-Aones.
It was this dynasty or people that sent colonies to America: Oviedo says this happened in the time of Hesper
12th king of Spain, about 750 years after the flood, or 1658 years B. C.
He deems the settlers Hesperians or Cantabrians. The root is ONA solar name of Lybians.
27th Event.
VAGONIANA a ruler of the Hi-Auna, went fishing from the cave, and became a bird or nightingale; who crossed the sea, and settled the island Mathinino (Martinico) with a people of women.
Dangleria. His wife in the sea gives him two sons which became jewels Ziba and Guanin, marble and metal.
This is a positive voyage over the Atlantic. Whenever we meet tribes of birds, in ancient history, they always mean travellers and colonies, and often passage over the sea in sailing boats, compared to birds.
The first ships of the Scandinavians and Europeans seen in North America, were called birds by the natives.
V and B interchange in the Haytian language as in Greek ; Va-gon-iana, thus means Father-
Solar-Iana. His people are called women, because they are unwarlike fishermen, or the Amazon tribe.
..That all the women should be left in Martinico is a fable, meaning that the weakest or fishing tribes settled there or in the islands ; while the warriors went to the American continent, called Guanin, which has several meanings, land of Guanas or lizard men, or land of metals. It became afterwards the name of a peculiar metal formed by the natural or artificial amalgam of 18 parts gold, 6 silver, and 8 copper :
and a tribe assumed the name. Guana or Guanos was the name of a large nation of South America; perhaps come from the Guans of the Canary islands ;
..This metal Guanin is the Orichalc of the ancient Greeks ; which has so much puzzled the learned, being wrongly deemed Platina, which would have been infusible.
..But Garcia gives a different version of this fable, he says that the men being in want of women sent 4 Caracols (their vassals?) to catch wives, who were like ants on trees ; but slippery like eels : yet some
being caught became the wives of the Guaninis. Ants were called Comekhon in Haytian, and thus we have another tribe akin to the Comaguas, Camayaguas, who were previous settlers of Hayti, and descendants of Kon! the Klions of Lybia? But it is strange that we find here the Myrmidons of Grecian fable and many
affinities in the name of that tribe of ants. Mur-mekon in Pelagian and Greek, Ume-Jean in Thracian, Formica in Latin, Camot in Bali, Mohur in Iran &c., while in America Coinagen of Uraba, Camaxen of the Talascas and Opatas. All referring perhaps to the ancient people of Ants; the Pismires of Gothic tribes; a people of dwarfs or weakness, akin to Pygmies and Troglodytes thus traced also to America.
31th Event.
ALBEBORA and his son Albebora-El) were Also Guanini lords or Cazics, who came with the Giona tribe.
This indicates again another nation. The name is remarkable, because it resembles Albion and Bora, two primitive nations of the north, which settled England and the boreal regions, becoming the Hyper-Boreans
of later times. Perhaps these Boras are identic with the Aboras and Aborts of ancient Italy, the mountaineers since called Abort-genes by the Greeks.
35th Event.
Another Guaga-giona II. or Guaba-giona is mentioned afterwards,whose son became the Guanhii tribe.
Guaba means both the father and the Gnava pear.
39th Event.
These Caracols deprived of their women, took other female beasts for wives (another tribe) and from this union most of the Haytians descended, becoming Anaborias or vassals of the Guaninis.
Anaboria means flower, or lizard of labor.. these might be descended from Albebora.
This name for bondsmen, boors or laborers, was widely spread in America,and has affinities all over the world, even with the Latin labor.
South America was once called Guanin, after wards Caribana wrhen it was overspread by the Carib tribes. The Nachez appear to have come from Cuba, The Cumanas knew Hayti and called it Atsi.
5Ist Event.
The Canibas (whence our Canibals) or the Caribas, (whence our Caraibes), a savage people, often feeding
on human flesh, begin to spread to Guyana and South America; becoming bold navigators also, they send war parties and colonies to the peaceful islands of the Antilles, and even to Florida.
