154. In certain editions we find the dates differently mentioned, e.g., “the 12th month in the 3rd year of Daido” or “the 2nd month in the 3rd year of Daido,” or “the 12th month in the 2nd year of Daido,” instead of “the 2nd month in the 2nd year of Daido,” an attempt to synchronize with the date when Imbe-no-Hironari had already been promoted to the Junior Sub-fifth Court Rank (He was actually promoted to the rank on the 17th of the 11th month in the 3rd year of Daido) as mentioned at the beginning of the popular edition of the Kogoshui, which enjoys a large circulation.
This is no doubt an addition by some writer at a later date than the time the original manuscript was written by Imbe-no-Hironari himself. The serond[errata 1] year of Daido falls in A.D. 807.
