¶ Pea naʻe fakaʻaʻau ki muʻa ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻa Sihosafate: pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻi Siuta ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga meʻa.

Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihohanani ko e ʻeikitau, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae toko ua kilu, mo e toko valu mano. 
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa ʻAmasia ko e foha ʻo Sikili, ʻaia naʻa ne tuku fiemālie pe ia maʻa Sihova: pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi ko e toko ua kilu. 
Pea ʻia Penisimani: ko Iliata ko e tangata toʻa mālohi, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata naʻe mahafutau ʻaki ʻae kau fana mo e pā, ko e toko ua kilu. 
Pea naʻe hoko mo ia ʻa Sihosapati, pea naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae tokotaha kilu mo e toko valu mano naʻe tali teu pe ki he tau.
