Section LXVII. Emperor Sū-jin (Part V.—Peace Restored and Tribute Levied)

So His Augustness Oho-biko went away to Koshi in accordance with the previous [Imperial] commands. Then Take-nuna-kaha-wake, who had been sent round by the east, and his father Oho-biko met together in Ahidzu. So the place was called by the name of Ahidzu. Wherefore, each of them, having settled the government of the land to which he had been sent, made his report [to the Heavenly Sovereign]. Then the Empire was at peace and the people prosperous. Thereupon tribute on the arrow-notches of the men and tribute on the finger-tips of the women was first levied. So in praise of this august reign they said: “the Heavenly Sovereign Mima-ki, who ruled the first land.” Again, in this august reign the Pool of Yosami was made; moreover the Pool of Sakawori at Karu was made.
