One of Jaussen's tablets, Tahua was apparently collected on Easter Island by Fathers Roussel and Zumbohm in 1870 and sent to him in Tahiti.

It was sent to the headquarters of the Congrégation des Sacrés-Coeurs et de l'Adoration (SSCC) in Paris, where it was deposited in the Missionary Museum, either by Jaussen in 1888 or by the French navy in 1892 after his death.

Barthel (1958) noted sections of the Taure text repeated, in seemingly random distribution, on tablets B Aruku, C Mamari, E Keiti, H Large Santiago, P Large St Petersburg, and Q Small St Petersburg.
