A story similar to "Heiji monogatari" is included in the article about Yoshitsune in "Sonpi Bunmyaku" (a text compiled in the fourteenth century that records the lineages of the aristocracy), which describes that 'Yoshitsune talked with a traveler from Togoku (the eastern part of Japan, particularly Kanto region) named Shoryo no suke Shigeyori (Yorishige) and let him promise to accept his request at Kurama-dera Temple.'
また、『尊卑分脈』の義経の項目にも「鞍馬寺において、東国旅人諸陵助重頼（頼重）を相語らい、約諾せしめ」と『平治物語』とほぼ同様の記載がある。
