Histories about Ehime
The archive links no published history to Ehime yet. Its neighbours’ histories are not shown here, because a link to another community is not a history of this one.
Named in other records
Histories that mention Ehime
These are published records whose own words name Ehime. A mention is not a history of Ehime, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Ehime. 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.

The source treats it and Osu (No. 14) as a single clan.
Its country lies in the northern belt.
Ehime and Osu (No. 14) are treated as one clan, in which the senior village group is Umueze and the second is Onicha (Dim Neze). Ehime's own groups are Onicha (Dim Neze) and Nsu, with Ikperejere, Abeke and Lowa; Umueze, Umuezeala, Abaja, Umukabia and Umunakanu belong to Osu.
A claim is also recorded about the neighbouring group at No. 16: the founder of Ihite and Umuhu is said to have come from Umueze, the senior village group of Ehime and Osu.
