The "Nihonshoki" also narrates that the origin of 'Saekibe of Nuta, Aki province' was the member of the Saekibe of Inano Agata who hunted and offered a deer which Emperor Nintoku had been secretly admiring without knowing this and was in turn sent to Nuta, Aki province by the resentful Emperor.
また、猪名県の佐伯部の者が、仁徳天皇が秘かに愛でていた鹿をそれとは知らずに狩って献上したため、恨めしく思った天皇によって安芸国沼田郡（ぬた）に移されたのが「（安芸国）渟田の佐伯部」であるとも伝えている。
