126 TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [VoL. VI. 
A commonly recurring group is that in T 1, X 3, W 4, V 6, S 8, 
U 12,S and V 16, and X 17. It consists of a rolled up mat on the left, 
and a human face displaying a tongue on the right. A mat in Maya is 
pop, and the tongue is a&. Read as fop-ak, the word means nothing; 
but as ak-fof, it represents the title of the Quiche kings of Cawek, 
which was ahpof, or the chief of the mat. In S 1, W 3, U 6, 16, and W 
17, appears a group regularly preceding this apop, which consists 
of a bundle, a hand and a turtle shell. A hand is £aé, and a turtle shell 
ac, and the bundle may denote sarah, to tie together. The whole word 
read kax kabac, which in the form Kak Cawek, “the town of Cawek,” 
would fitly unite with the Quiche title azpop, inasmuch as the house of 
Cawek alone had the right to that title. Thus V, W, X 17 read as 
follows: Oxlahunpekob Kah Cawek ahpop or “Oxlahun-Pek, the ahpop 
of the House of Cawek.” Oxlahun-Pek, or in the Cachiquel, Oxlahuh- 
Tzy, was evidently the king who had this tablet erected. He gives 
to another monarch, out of courtesy doubtless, the title of azpop in S and 
T 16, where ahkpop is followed by the bundle #ah, and the symbol 
for rain kaaxha or chak. His name, Kakkarha, reappears in T 11, 13, 
and with disguise, in W 1. The latter reads Uuclahun Cankaaxha. 
Now, in Quiche, four is cak, not can as in Maya, so that, in this case, the 
Quiche pronunciation seems to have been adopted. Before deciding 
about kahkaaxha, the two groups preceding Oxlahun-Pek kah Cawek 
ahpop may be read. They are in the index diagram T U 17. In T we 
have 8 or waxac, followed by a human face, zch, and in U, 5 or ho, before 
an oval representing the sun and his rays, kzz. Now Uaxvac ich hokin 
means “I set out into Uaxac,” which can but mean Oaxaca, the province 
which is only separated from Chiapas by Tehuantepec. 
Oaxaca had its powerful monarch like Guatemala, and he was Oxlahuh 
Tzy’s contemporary. His predecessors on the throne had been named 
Zaachilla I., [1., and II1.,but he bore in addition, according to the Mexican 
annals, the tithe Cocyoéza. The Maya-Quiche expedient for Zaachilla 
was Uuclahuh, and Kahkaaxa replaced the Mexican Cocyoéza. The 
Mexican annals have nothing to say of the combination of these two 
great powers of Guatemala and Oaxaca. The form Uuclahuh occurs 
again in W 11, followed by Ahkau, king. It does not follow that wherever 
8 or uaxac appears, it denotes Oaxaca; but it does, apparently, in 
C 2, where it is followed by Aun, one, and zch, a face. The same 
title Aunzch, quite differently formed, is in L 6. What it means is 
hard to say; it may be Aun edz, the one established, a governor, resident 
or ambassador. ‘“Uaxac hunich” denotes some officer of Oaxaca. In 
D 10 occurs Uarac ca ahau, either “the king of Oaxaca” or “the two
