In the printed version of his paper, Hilbert added a reference to Einstein 's conclusive paper and a concession to the latter's priority: "The differential equations of gravitation that result are, as it seems to me, in agreement with the magnificent theory of general relativity established by Einstein in his later papers".
Sa nakalimbag na bersyon ng kanyang papel, Hilbert nagdagdag ng reference sa Einstein 's kapani-paniwala papel at ng concession sa huli ng prayoridad: "Ang kaugalian equation ng grabitasyon na ang resulta ay, gaya ito tila sa akin, sa kasunduan sa napakagandang teorya ng pangkalahatang kapamanggitan naitatag sa pamamagitan ng Einstein sa kanyang mamaya papeles ".
