74 Transactions of the Canadian Institute. [Vol. VII. 



INSCRIPTION XV. 



Follows the same perpendicular order : 



ka 

 pi si 



mo i 



ma 



Pinio enia Kasii au mai arau: Pinio be goititu arau. 



Pimo gives to Kasi this tablet suitable : Pimo under erects suitably. 



" Pimo gives this fitting tablet to Ikasi : the underling of Pimo 

 correctly sets it up." 



This is evidently an earlier inscription than No. XIII., which 

 commemorates the death of Pimo or the first. Ikasi, the learner, has 

 no other memorial. The postposition be, under, below, is probably 

 the shortest name in the world for a servant. 



INSCRIPTION XVI. 



In the same order 



" The tribute this Alarte (gives, receives, etc.)." 



In No. XIV. Alarte, the grandfather of Otsekoi, receives the tribute 

 of Aukera. This may be another record of such feudal dues, paid on a 

 different occasion. The document is imperfect.
