Note 24 — CONTENTS (continued 3)

Malae was [the name of] the high priest who was summoned by Olopana; he belonged to Kauai. When he arrived at Waianae and met Olopana in his capacity as priest he said to Olopana: “My lord and king, your opponent Kamapuaa has the character of a god; you will never be able to overcome him; and you will not live if you fight him in a regular battle. There is but one way for you to deal with your opponent whereby you will overcome him, and it is this: Get a pig, a piece of awa, a chicken, a fish, a man and a banana all having the word or letters lau,24 l-a-u; then take these things and lay them before Kamapuaa. These things if offered him as a sacrifice will remove his strength and he will become as one very weak.”
