Z. Kaauwai's sworn testimony:
Question: For whom is the Ahupuaa (division of an island for landholding purposes) at Paeohi?

Kaauwai: For Keohokalole, and a portion in there was granted to Opakahelu.

Question: How long did Keohokalole live there?

Kaauwai: A very long time since the time of his grandfolks. The first time Opakahelu mentioned about it was when he had a lease with Kapaakea. Kapaakea said that the King had it and the King said that Kaeohokalole had it.
