192 TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [VoL. VI. 
chuuc. The same yok unites with an irregular muyal to form Uxmal. 
Ahau is the first word in the following group ; below it is dak, a bundle, 
and the small character beneath it is most comprehensive, embracing 
buc, covering, Aun, 1, and tun, a stone. Thus identified, they say: 
“ Oxyib pop Oxbuc Catch katun pop Cayub Oxbuc katun bet chuuce Uxmal 
ahau bak hun puchtun :” “Oxbuc, pop of Oxyib, Cayub, pop of the army 
of Quiche, and the army of Oxbuc, make prisoners 400 rebels of the akau 
of Uxmal.” The next group consists of ca and yz}, followed by fof ; 
and that following, of £atun, buk, tun, and ox. The group after unites 
cht, a border, in the left hand lower corner of the first dz}, with it and 
the one below, giving chz ca dzib. One more caox appears over can, 4: 
The following chz, border, and chen, well, or fun, stone, are vague. The 
stone, 7, is read next, then duh with ¢zwn, and finally ywd, a robe, to the 
left. This sentence is: “ Cayub pop katun puchtun Vokchi Katztb chuue 
can Chichen tan puchtunob:” “the pop, Cayub, tells the Yokchi of Katzib 
of the rebellious army to seize the rebels in Chichen.” 
The seventh line begins with ca zch, two faces, followed by a pak and 
a bak, giving ca bak, two baks. Below these come katun, two tuns ; and 
the next group is ca, yzb, pop. That following contains ox, 3, ca, the two 
spaces within three lines on the succeeding figure, and the figure itself, 
buc. Below buc are dzzb and another duc, and, below them, ca-tun. 
The figure under the next fof is a mystery ; it is inscribed, and may be 
dztb. The following long group is made up of yok, over, hol, can, 4 with 
tun, another yok of different form, and katun. The next character 
gives duc and tun, followed by yuwb, a coat. Leaving the lower “un tun, 
and taking the first of the next group ca, it is followed by daz, an axe, 
after which are three ends or xu/s, which, with uz tun, may be read 
“aul yok hunten.” The whole may be read: “ Cazch Cawek katun 
Cayub pop Oxcabue dztb puch katan cib pop hokol chunthan yok katun 
puchtunob kebat xul yok hunten:” “Cayub, the pop of the army of 
Quiche Cawek writes Oxcabuc a letter, asking permission (for the) pop 
(for) the president to set out over the army to end at once the wicked 
rebels.” The next short sentence begins with dzzb, followed on the 
right by fet, after which come duc and tok, with hol to the left, and due 
and ¢wz below. It thus reads: “dzzb bet pach dzocol puchtun:” “he 
writes to cause the rebel prisoners to be destroyed.” The top character 
of the next group is yok, over, the second, hunz tun, after which are 
three beans, or yzb. A stone with a hole in it provides Aol tun ; three 
lines on another stone give or fun; then follows katwn, and, going 
backwards, an-irregular yok, and a xu/, or end. Together they read: 
“yok hunten Oxytb holthan yoktan katun yok xul: “at once the holthan 
of Oxyib over ended the rebel army.”
