20. When we classify multipoles in the spherical symmetry case, the cubic-invariant hexadecapole and the monopole have different character. If we consider the single site effects, the former operator causes the cubic crystalline field splitting of the electronic state, while the latter does not cause. Therefore they may be different in some sense even in cubic systems. We note that the "monopole ordering" also can induce the cubic crystalline field splitting in principle through the intersite interaction, for example, the simplest one is the electrostatic crystalline field effect of the monopole ordering. As explained in the main text, however, terms with higher harmonics of the direction cosine are necessary to reproduce the field-direction dependence of the NMR splitting. This may suggest the importance of the hexadecapole component in the ordering of this compounds.

26. h symmetry is reflected in the invariant coupling form (1).
27. h symmetry is responsible for this effect. For example, the change of the electronic state due to the cubic-local lattice distortion of Fe and P sites around Pr sites, and the electro-static field of the charge ordering of ions with Q will contribute.

33. Honestly speaking, the data at H ∥ [111] has been used to determine parameters in the row I of the Table I.
34. 1,4 is chosen.
35. In the strict sense, the AFQ and the AF-monopole states under the magnetic field will not be separated except the case of H ∥ [111].
