128 TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [Vou. VI. 
Ox kuxtl ahauob,Nakhun Huaxtokob. Bolon pak, Holhun puchtunob Vaxac 
Hunich nakxicinob ca Uxmal yok dzan xulob: “The three inimical (liter- 
ally disgusted) chiefs, Nakhun of the Huastecs, the town of Palenque, 
and Holhun fought and put to death the Hunich of Oaxaca, when they 
finished devastating before Uxmal.” 
The third line is brief, but not free from difficulties. _ Two spaces are 
united probably as a mark of respect, to join o/, the head, and fof, the 
mat. No other reason can be given for two mats instead of one which 
would have sufficed. The Holpop, or head of the mat, was the chief of a 
city or town... The group C 3 is familiar in part, the tongue taking the 
place of the turtle shell,and a circle or wheel, fe¢, surmounting the whole. 
It thus reads cah Cazwek pet, but pet must stand for det-ah, to make. The 
symbol D 3 is can, 4, and zch,a face, while E 3 is two noses and two 
wheels, the nose being and the wheel fez, to set forth the name of 
Nohpat, the last king of Uxmal.’_ F 3 consists of ca, 2, and a parrot’s 
head. There is a parrot-called rkan dzulop; and yaxchun denotes a be- 
ginning, while o/od means “lines.” The ca, therefore, may be the Maya 
verb substantive or auxiliary, caz. The sentence may thus be read: 
“ Holpop cah Cawek bet Canich, Nohpat cah yaxchun tsolob:” “The house 
of Cawek made Canich holpop, who is the beginning of the line of 
Nohpat.” Conache is represented as one of the early Quiche kings and 
the head of the house of Cawek, but nothing is said of his going to 
Yucatan or of Nohpat’s descent from him. 
A and B 4 give, the first, c#z, the mouth and the second ¢so/, a string, 
together probably setting forth ¢zzcz/, obedient, loyal, as ahauob follows. 
In C 4, Uarac is succeeded by fpoc, a hat, and ppw/, an earthen jar, to 
denote fofol, the people. D 4 consists of fad, the hand, dak, which does 
not need translation, and d@zzb, to write. The day character czb may be 
compared with this, and the word chzbal, lineage. These make up 
kabbak ctb, to which the modern keban czb, evil desire, must answer. E 4 
gives ox, 3,and the symbol for fire, a#; and F 4 is composed of fa, the 
trefoil, a mere supposition, and chz/ek, the forehead. Instead of or kak 
kachilek, we must read yok coch or koch kuxilek, literally “before carry 
(or spread) the disloyal.” The entire sentence is: ¢z¢cel ahauob Uaxac 
popolob kebac cib yok coch kuxilek :” “The disloyal spread their evil desire 
before the loyal chiefs of the people of Oaxaca.” 
A and B 5 repeat kachilek ahauob, the disloyal chiefs. C 5 is Uaxac, 
followed by two separated slabs denoting division, 2zc, and marked with 
the cloud symbol mol or muyal. The latter means “together, in com- 
mon.” D 5 is can Bolon tokob, four dividers of Palenque; and E 5 is o2
