what it agrees with, for X 6 is or oxtokob. With these words is con- 
nected S 7, nak xicinob, which gives plurality to the subject. “Cah 
Cawek ahpop canpuchtun ox yoktockob nakxicinob :” “The Ahpop of the 
House of Cawek destroys three very quarrelsome rebels.” T 7 is Cah 
Cawek, and the following U 7, made up of ox, and an inscribed oval. 
must surely be a new expedient for akpop or ahpop, as it is succeeded in 
V 7 by the full name Oxlahun-Pek. Then in W 7 we have or ahauob, 
and in X 7, xak xicinob. This short sentence is: “Cah Cawek ahpop 
Oxlahun Pek ox ahauob nakxicinob :” ‘“ Oxilahun-Pek, the Ahpop of 
Cawek, destroys three chiefs.” ea 
S 8 is the ahkpop, T 8, ox, with the figure for £zz, the sun; as this is 
the only verb, it must be the same as ofzz, I entered, or okzn, I set out 
for. U 8 is uwaxaclahun lahun pakmolob for Uaxac lai u lukun pakmolob, 
those united towns separating from Oaxaca. V 8 is uwavxacluhun ahauob 
for Uaxac lukun ahauob, the chiefs separating from Oaxaca. Thus the 
whole is: “akpop hokin Uaxac lat u lukun pakmolob Uaxac lukun 
ahauob :” “1, the Ahpop, set out for those united towns separating from 
Oaxaca, of the chiefs separating from Oaxaca.” The next sentence 
presents peculiar difficulties. W 8 sets forth two stones divided, hence 
tun, a stone, and 7c, division, tunszicob. In X 8, the first hieroglyphic 
is ca, and the second zu/; hence it affords the name of the chief Cacul 
in F 13. SQ 1s can with pak, but seems to denote the Chunbezah, as 
T 9 is Oxmuyal or Uxmal. Ug has kadkad, the finger, and fax, united, 
and ahauob, chiefs, but ka/ is to imprison, and chad, to take. V 9Q is 
tun, the stone, and azcznob, the ears; and W gis pak, a stone wall or 
town. X 9g has the now well known conventional ca, and the abdomen, 
nak. The whole reads: “ Tunxicob Cacul Chunbezah Uxmal kal chab 
kax ahauob Tunxicinob pak ca nakob :” “The Chunbezah of Uxmal took 
prisoner Cacul of Tunxicob, when the united kings destroyed the town 
of Tunxicob.” 
S 10.is Oxlahun-Pek, and T 10 is Uaxac pak.\ Then comes DU 4o, 
hopet, which seems to be an expedient for wéah, to hear, understand. 
V 10 is ox, 3,and ho, 5, with ¢okod, representing ox hotochob, three houses. 
But W Io is the abdomen, with wx, one, to the right, and the sign of 
plurality below, hence Nakhunob; while X Io is wuc, 7, and kz, the 
sun. This is Zayac, destroy, but the final £27 looks like a mark of the 
first person singular. S 11 is the well known nak azcinob; T 11 is 
Cakaaxha; and U 11 is evidently pak, a stone wall, with zw, a stone, 
and plurality for puchtunob. Hence the reading: “ Orlahun-Pek 
Uaxac pak ubat ox hotochob Nakhunob hayackin nakxicinoh Cakaaxha
