Note: According to "Sonpi Bunmyaku" (a text compiled in the fourteenth century that records the lineages of the aristocracy), there is a description concerning MINAMOTO no Saneto, 'he lived in Wakasa Province, and was a roto (retainer) of Gyobukyo (Minister of Justice) TAIRA no Tadamori,' although it does not mention his real father.
注：『尊卑分脈』では、源季遠の記述として「若狭国住人。刑部卿平忠盛郎党」とあり、実父については触れていない。
