Nihongi.

Oshiro set up his bow, and taking it by the end, made a song, saying:—

On the way he met them,
The Boy of Oshiro!
It is in Heaven only that
Unheard of he will be,
For on Earth at least
He will be heard of.

Having finished this song, he slew many men with his own hand and pursued them on as far as Port Uragake in the Land (XIV. 52.) of Tamba, where they were all massacred.

One book says:—"He pursued them as far as Uragake, and then sent men who slew them all."
