- ↑ The word for concubine here is 夫人. We have now had three ranks of concubines mentioned, showing that Chinese customs were coming in. In the older reigns the only distinction made is that of the Empress and other consorts.
- ↑ This is hardly consistent with the story of the tajihi flower on the previous page.
- ↑ The original reading is 6th. The "Shukai" editor would correct it into 5th from the "Kiujiki." It signifies extremely little which reading we take, as no reliance can yet be placed on any of the dates given.
- ↑ The age of this Emperor is not stated here. The "Kojiki" says sixty.
