These descriptions are almost the same with those in the "Kojiki," that goes 'making TAKENOUCHI no Sukune a minister, he appointed Kuni no miyatsuko for small and large provinces, and defined boundaries between provinces and designated Agatanushi (territorial ruler) for small and large territories.'
これらは『古事記』にも大同小異で、「武内宿禰を大臣として、大国・小国の国造を定めたまひ、また国々の堺、また大県小県の県主を定めたまひき」とある。
