Ilang mga siglo ang lumipas, ang mga pangkat ng mga tagahanap ay ipinadala ni Limhi upang hanapin ang Zarahemla, subalit sa halip ay nakarating sila sa mga guho ng kabihasnang Jaredita, kung saan natagpuan nila ang mga talaan na isinulat ni Eter. Kinuha nila ang talaan pabalik kasama nila, at sa bandang huli ay isinalin ni haring Mosias.
Nevertheless, they did find a land which had been peopled; yea, a land which was covered with dry bones; yea, a land which had been peopled and which had been destroyed; and they, having supposed it to be the land of Zarahemla, returned to the land of Nephi, having arrived in the borders of the land not many days before the coming of Ammon. And they brought a record with them, even a record of the people whose bones they had found; and it was engraven on plates of ore.
