Other Information:
It is possible that the name noted on the print reverse (Poijemu of the Agbopio clan) is an alternative spelling of the name, or perhaps a phonetic spelling that E-P corrected when typing up his handlist.
The name appears as Panyamu in at least two places in the handlist, and so I have kept to this spelling.
