Posthumous name

The account I edited said "was buried on buddhism of the traditions, got posthumous name Dyuryo-man yan Genjui-koji. The romaji is obviously messed up. Does anyone know what the kanji are? Bethetsu

Date & Footnote Question

I'm a bit confused about the date footnote - where does the "May 12" come in? Is that western, eastern, or what? There are 2 other dates given, but it isn't clear what it what. --Kitsuno 13:32, 2 October 2006 (PDT)

Hm. And on the newly revised footnote, I am curious if it is unknown to scholarship whether he was using Gregorian or Julian, or if it is simply unknown to us here at S-A based on the sources we've looked at. LordAmeth 03:38, 11 July 2007 (PDT)

Source question

This source: Kôjien [Dictionary] - is there anything more to it - publisher, date, anything?
