According to Kuniji YASHIRO, the document was supposed to have been edited around 1270, when the first part of the compilation effort was done, although the date of the entry is July 29, 1205 and the document contained the following account 'Because KONO no Shiro Michinobu performed great exploits, he was to supervise 32 vassals of Iyo Province.'
その文書は八代国治の説では第一段階目、1270年前後に編集されたはずの、1205年（元久2年）閏7月29日条にある「河野の四郎通信勲功他に異なるに依って、伊予国の御家人三十二人守護の沙汰を止め、通信が沙汰と為す」以下にある。
