Named in other records
Histories that mention Ahiara
These are published records whose own words name Ahiara. A mention is not a history of Ahiara, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Ahiara. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.
