Next are can, 4, tun, pop, the mat, and dak,a bundle, making in all: 
“ Oxlahun-Pek bet Yokmal chunthan pop pak :” “Oxlahun-Pek makes the 
president of Uxmal fof of the town.” The next group presents difficulty 
at first, but, read from the bottom upwards, consists of chz, a border, chz, 
a mouth, and 2zw/, an end, Chzchzxul. Next comes the well-known katun, 
followed by fet tun, and the following top character to make sense 
should be ca, but ca is never thus represented. It is, therefore, probably 
yok,on, over. Two katuns follow, and then come éuc and fet. Thus the 
sentence is: “Chichzxul katun patan yok katan katun pach bet:” the 
Cachiquel army in asking tribute makes soldiers prisoners.” Reading 
upwards, the next group contains ox, 3, ywb, a coat, and xc, division. 
Then comes another o1, and in the top line appear Aol and tun over pak, 
under which are fet,and xu/, the end. The bird’s head supplies another 
aul, followed by kuz and tux, under which come, from right to left, pez, 
hun, cht, a border, and ywd, an article of dress. These furnish: “ Oxyzb 
aic yok holthan pak bet xul; xul hunten bet Hunichob :” “he makes an 
end of the dividers of Oxyib by the executioner of the town; the 
Hunichob made an end (of them) at one time.” 
The first character of line 4 is chz, the mouth, and it is followed by 
chen, a well, like an inverted T, roughly representing the aguwadas of the 
country. Under it is Oxyib inverted; and in the next group, pak, 
building, is read before rw/, the C like end. These give: “ Chichen 
Oxytb paxal :” “the Oxyib desert Chichen.” At the back of the pakare 
Oxyib and katun, and these are followed by pach, a back, after which 
come two ends, furnishing ca xu/, and tun,a stone. The next group 
contains ox, 3, ywb, a dress, represented by a few lines, not enough to 
set forth pop, then tux and katun. Afterwards comes chz, a border, with 
ox, 3, and yad, a shoe, to which are added ca, 2, chz, a mouth, pet and tun 
Next are @s2b and tun, with chz,a border, and ¢um, another twuz, and © 
Oxyib tun. All of these furnish: “ Oxy7b katun pak kuxil than Oxytb- 
than katun chi Oxytb xache betun dzib tun ci than tan Oxytb-than:” “the 
Oxyib army hates the town, the Oxyib speaking army saying a word 
(that) Oxyib seeks to make written stones sweet-worded in Oxyib 
speech.” The rest of the line contains Oxbuc rather than Oxtun, followed, 
as in line 2, by katun and caoxrtun, the latter being obscure in the plate. 
Afterwards come pak, and ol. The apparent bracket furnishes either 
kax, united, or yok, over ; next, a writing in two divisions is ca ¢z¢b, and 
below is fet. The last group consists of ox, tok, cht, a border, and ahau 
in the plural. These make up: “ Oxbuc katun chuuctan paxal kax 
Katsztb bet yoktok chi ahauob:” “the army of Oxbuc, deserting to 
plunder, makes the united of Katzib chiefs of the speakers of rebellion.”
