Kapau, sworn and stated, I have seen in the ahupuaa of Puuopaha, 2 sections.

1. Section I:
Mauka by konohiki
Kohala by Keaa I ahupuaa
Makai by a precipice by the beach
Hilo by Kalakalaula ahupuaa
Dry land, it has been cultivated, no house.

2. Section II:
Mauka by konohiki
Kohala by Keaa I ahupuaa

Leleihoku had given him /land/ in 1847; no one had objections.
