Section CXLIX. Emperor An-kō (Part VI.—Flight of Princes Ohoke and Woke)]

Hereupon King Ichi-no-be’s children King Ohoke and King Woke (two Deities), having heard of this affray, fled away. So when they reached Karibawi in Yamashiro and were eating their august provisions, an old man with a tattooed face came and seized the provisions. Then the two Kings said: “We do not grudge the provisions. But who art thou?” He replied, saying: “I am a boar-herd in Yamashiro.” So they fled across the River Kusuba, reached the land of Harima, entered the house of a native of that country named Shizhimu, hid their persons, and worked as grooms and cow-herds.
