In "Sumiyoshi-taisha Jindaiki" (Ancient Record of Sumiyoshi-taisha Shrine), it is stated that he died in his fifty-third year of reign, the year of the Metal-Sheep in the Chinese astrological calendar, but this contradicts the account given in "Nihon Shoki" (the year of Emperor Suinin's death calculated based on his 99 years of reign recorded in "Nihon Shoki" is the year of the Metal-Horse).
『住吉大社神代記』には、在位53年で辛未年に崩御したとあり、これは『書紀』の編年と相違する点で注目される（『書紀』の垂仁天皇99年を計算すると庚午）。
