(source: the preceding sentence on shuken ) （宗憲 前文より）
according to popular theory , " 以 " does not have a particular meaning , although due to the mention of " because she died " or " having already died ," as well as the preceding sentence , " 拜假難升米 爲檄告喻之 " ( " nashime took an imperial rescript and a yellow flag , then issued a manifesto " ), is thought that himiko had already died by this point . 通説では、「以」に深い意味はないとするか、「死するをもって」つまり「死んだので」墓が作られた、あるいは、「すでに死す」と読み、直前に書かれている「拜假難升米 爲檄告喻之」（難升米が詔書・黄憧を受け取り檄で告諭した）の時点で卑弥呼はすでに死んでいた、と解釈する。
