  • Yakan: “Their agreement was (lit. their-mutual-promising) that he would really pay them the wage for a days work, then he told them to go and work on his land.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: “The first ones he got, they agreed that he would pay each one of them one piece of silver because that was the customary payment for one person for one day. And then those people whom he was going to pay to work in his grape field, he started them to work.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Kankanaey: “He found some and he agreed-with them for one denario as their daily-wage, then he sent (them) to go work in the vineyard.” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa: “Having found some, he arranged with them for a wage which was the (usual) wage for a whole day’s work. Well since it was acceptable to those casual-workers, he sent them to his ubas-plantation.” (Source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Tenango Otomi: “He made an agreement with the workers that for one day of work he would pay one money named the denario. He sent the workers to his field then.” (Source: Tenango Otomi Back Translation)
