130 TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [Vou Viz 
denote something very different, for which the reader is referred to the _ 
researches of Dr. Brinton." The following C and D 8 have already been 
read as Oxcabuc and Hunco or Huntoh. E 8 consists of fof, as in 
ahpop, pol or hol, the head, and the circle or wheel, fez, giving fopol bet, 
the people make; and F 8 contains zak,the abdomen, and £aé, the hand. 
This last is evidently a form of zah, to desire, which assumes the form 
nahuba, to suit. The sentence runs forward into the next line, in which 
A 9 is chi,the month, >llowed by fez, the wheel, and the well known — 
tok. “Then come Oxlahun Pek and hun ahau ahauob. This sentence is: 
“ Cah Cawek ahkulel Oxcabuc Huntoh popol bet nakab cib betokob Oxlahun 
Pek hun ahau ahauob”, “The people make the request of the regents, 
Oxcabuc and Huntoh, they make the desire (that) Oxlahun-Pet (be) one 
king of kings.” 
The next sentence is short. E 9 is Bolon pak, the city of Palenque. 
F g apparently consists of £a, pet, and ¢an, the breast, which make up 
kapettan, and this must be an expedient for kebanthan, to plot, commit 
treason. A 10, if Huntah be better than Hunco, is fo, which means 
“richt, just.” B 10 is very difficult. It begins with /o, 5, followed by 
what might be 4a, but which may answer to the trefoil #a, and which 
two dots on the upper part of the head would appear to confirm, as 
2 is ca. Then comes cz, the mouth, and the sign of plurality 0d. In 
Maya, kokzahuba means “ to take oneself away from”: the word that is 
here is hakachiob. The sentence may read: “ Solon pak kebathanob toh 
hokachiot” ; “ The city of Palenque rebel, withdrawing themselves from 
righteousness.” 
C 10 is a combination of kachélek and xicin, the ear, and D 10 consists 
of waxac, 8, ca, 2,and ahauobd, it thus appearing that the shield subscribed 
does denote plurality. In E 10 appears can, 4, but here uniting with 0d 
to signify canod, they tell. Then follows Lahca, in Cachiquel Cablahuh, 
and after it the well known symbol fof. F 10 is dahun, 10, and 
kachilekob. This may be read: “ Kuxilek xicin Uaxac ca ahauob canob 
Cablahun-Tox lahun kuxilekob”: “Hearing of the defection, the two 
kings of Oaxaca tell Cablahun-Tox of the ten rebels.” A 11 seems to 
consist of hun, one, x7c7n, the ear, and or, 3. B 11 contains ox, 3, £ad, 
the hand, and «chup or chup, a woman; but former groups, such as 
D 4 and A 7, indicate that the whole should be read yok kedb czb, over 
the evil desire. C 11 reproduces F 10, lahun kachilekob; and D 11 is 
waxac, 8, ppocc, a hat, and chz, the mouth, but Ppocch7 is an expedient for 
pax, to abandon, forsake. Hence we read: “hun xicin ez yok keb ctb 
lahun kuxilekob Uaxac paxi”: “One, hearing of the discovery over the 
evil desire, the ten revolters left Oaxaca.” In A 11 ox is doubtful, and
