Those were the noteworthy rulers (? ariki motongi): Oto Uta,  Tangaroa A Oto Uta, Tiki Hati A Tangaroa, Roroi A Tiki Hati, Tuu Kuma A Roroi, Ataranga A Tuu Kuma, Harai A Ataranga, Taana A Harai, Matua A Taana, and Hotu A Matua.

O maori te ariki nei. etahi te angahuru. These ten kings belonged  to Maori.

And here the Great King had a pair of residences, Marae Renga and Marae Tohia. As I interpret this information the Great King ought to refer to the Sun. His 'residences' (te maara noho) would then correspond to his pair of wives.
