The text indicated Hyuga instead of Hyuga Province which was said to be named based on the word of Emperor Keiko, thus the province should not exist before the enthronement of Emperor Jinmu; the name of the place should be read Himuka instead of Hyuga, meaning it is facing East or South, or it is an eulogistic name.
日向国ではなく日向と書かれており、日向国は景行天皇の言葉が基で命名されたとあるので、神武天皇即位以前には存在せず、日向はヒュウガではなくヒムカと読み、東向き、南向きの意か美称である。
