References

1 The text used is that of the Nihon Koten Bungaku Taikei, to which page references are given in the inventories; but preoise dates are also given, thus making the use of other texts possible. Page references are also given to Anton's translation.

2 The significance of this distinction, maintained by the Nihon-shoki, is so far unexplained; but perhaps there is a clue here. This must be investigated.
