Section LVI. Emperor An-nei

His Augustness Shiki-tsu-hiko-tama-de-mi dwelt in the palace of Ukiana at Kata-shiha, and ruled the Empire. This Heavenly Sovereign wedded Akuto-hime, daughter of the Departmental Lord Haye, elder brother of Kaha-mata-bime, and begot august children: His Augustness Toko-ne-tsu-hiko-irone, next His Augustness Oho-yamato-hiko-suki-tomo, next His Augustness Shiki-tsu-hiko. Of the august children of this Heavenly Sovereign,—three Deities,—His Augustness Oho-yamato-hiko-suki-tomo [was he who afterwards] ruled the Empire. There were two Kings, children of the next [brother], His Augustness Shiki-tsu-hiko . One child (was the ancestor of the Territorial Lords of Suchi in Iga, of the Territorial Lords of Nabari, and of the Territorial Lords of Minu); one child, His Augustness Wa-chi-tsumi, dwelt in the palace of Miwi in Ahaji. So this King had two daughters: the name of the elder was Hahe-irone, and another name for her was Her Augustness Princess Oho-yamato-kuni-are; the name of the younger was Hahe-irodo. The Heavenly Sovereign’s august years were forty-nine. Augustum mausoleum est in privatis partibus Montis Unebi.
