Ka mea atu a Te Popoki, "Waiho i konā haere ai i te ata māhinahina; ākuanei te awatea te wā mahana takoto noa ai." Heoi tēnei o āna kupu ka waiho iho hei whakataukī, 'Te awatea a Te Popoki.' (JPS 1906:134). / Te Popoki replied, "Let them go in the grey morning; presently it will be noon, the time when it is warm." And from this comes the saying, 'The noon of Te Popoki.'
