Note 17 — Introductory material
Reading edition
As the sun was slanting, it being about two o’clock, the first of the procession arrived from the uplands. The old men looked and saw that Kaoleioku was in the lead. They then saw a large number of people following along after him. The procession was so long that they were unable to see the rear. As the fore part of the procession came nearer they easily recognized Kaoleioku. Kaoleioku then greeted the old men and they wept,17 for they had not seen each other for a long time.
