No, 40
of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Nepihana Tuiri.
E Ki ana te kai-pitihana i tangohia a Waitoa i a ia e Meha Te Moananui mo tona kanga i a Meha. Heoi he inoi tana kia whakahokia taua whenua ki a ia.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Ko te toru tenei o nga pitihana a Tuiri mo tenei mea, a, he mea ke i waenganui i a ia me tona iwi.
