Long time ago the area was home to the
brave or tobarani who had a habit of drinking wine or anginung ballo,
cockfighting or assaung jangang/ massaung manu, gambling or abbotoro. This
habit is a common habit of the people at that time . Not known if someone was
brave diving habits called. The brave at Balocci it earned the nickname
"Koro-Balocci corona", because the famous drinking habits "Ballo
Kecci" and indeed ballo famous Balocci at that time was Ballo Kecci.
At that time
developing the story sort of oath that if it does not exist "Koro - corona
Balocci" in Balocci then there are three animals that also could not be
used in Balocci reads. Three animals that are Gecho, starlings and bukkuru'.
Until now these three animals are not unheard of in the area Balocci, even by
the locals if they are to local district. Gecho else then hear the sound, then
the sound Gecho will immediately cease to say, "nia Balocci anrinni
tau" . ( Makassar : There are people Balocci here ) or the “to - Balocci koe" (Bugis : There
are people Balocci here ).
Another version
of the speech or in connection with the oral tradition is the tradition
according to M. Taufiq S Dg Palopo
is if there are descendants Tobarani Balocci (Koro - korona Balocci) who live outside
Balocci then see the starlings starlings will not be long lived (no later than
two days after the bird has been seen dead) .
