In the recent paper (R. Willox and M. Hattori, arXiv:1406.5828), an integrable discretization of the nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation is studied, which, they think, was discovered by Date, Jimbo and Miwa in 1983 and has been completely forgotten over the years. In fact, this discrete NLS hierarchy can be directly obtained from an elementary auto-Backlund transformation for the continuous NLS hierarchy and has been known since 1982. Nevertheless, it has been rediscovered again and again in the literature without attribution, so we consider it meaningful to mention overlooked original references on this discrete NLS hierarchy.
