Note 46 — Introductory material (continued 2)

When peace reigned in the government of Maui Umi-a-Liloa went back to Hawaii. And when he became very old the people of Hawaii hewed stones for a tomb46 for his body, for he had ordered his sons and his daughters, and the chiefs and people all over Hawaii and Maui, to hew oblong squared stones a fathom or more in length, a yard wide, and half a yard deep. Ala47 was the stone hewed, a stone which is found in the cave of Umi-a-Liloa, in Keopu, Kailua. On account of this heavy tribute required by Hawaii the attendant of Aihakoko was killed by Kihapiilani, and for that reason Aihakoko went mourning out in the ocean and landed in Kapaahu, Kamaole, in Kula, whereby the place derived its name of Kalua-o-Aihakoko. The stone tomb of Umi-a-Liloa was not completed when he died at Kailua, Hawaii.
