196 TRANSACTIONS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. [VoL. VI. 
dzth, writing. The whole reads: “canlahun hauac tatcil bet puchtun pach 
yok hunten holcan katun tan Yokcht Katztb:” “the holcan of the army 
made prisoners of the rebels in Yokchi Katzib at one time, fourteen 
ceasing to obey.” The remaining part of group 5 is or muyal or Uxmal. 
No. 6 begins with ahau, followed by dszb and katun ; back of these are 
duc, covering, twnand xzcob, as in No. 2. The order of No. 7 is peculiar, 
beginning with ox over akau, then coming to the face, zc#, which should 
properly be a mouth, cz, moving up to the frontal ornament ca, and 
ending with the first character dz, writing, to furnish orchz katzib. The 
sentence, therefore, is: “ Uxmal ahau dzib katun puchtun xicob Yokcht 
Katzib :” “he writes the king of Uxmal (that) the rebel army divides 
Yokchi Katzib.” The last hieroglyphic of No. 7 is akau. In No. 8, 
Uxmal is represented by three links of a chain, and the szaya/ or cloud © 
figure, at the other end of the cartouche. Thereafter come /e/, the circle, 
dztb, writing, a Aun over the ear of zch, the face, and the robe, ywod- 
Unitedly they afford: “ahkau Uxmal bet dzib Hunichob:” “the king of 
Uxmal makes to write to the Hunichob.” . 
Coming down to the hieroglyphics about the seated figure, so 
mysterious in Mr. Stephen’s eyes, the series on the left stands first, and 
is to be read first horizontally, and afterwards perpendicularly, as at 
Palenque. No. 1 contains ca, 2, fab, hand, and the main part of it is 
katunob. No. 2 consists of tun, pet, and chz, a border. In No. 3, katun 
appears ; then come ca, 2, duc; covering, and ¢fuz. Below is a distinct 
pet, and the indistinct figure beside it is probably duc. Coming now to 
No. 2, in perpendicular order, its main hieroglyphic is mazcabcun, a 
kettle, below which are the conventional ca, fol, and fet. No. 3 perpen- 
dicular consists of pet, tun, and a confused figure evidently meant for 
kak, fire. Below are three stones, two of which are inscribed with ca, 2 ; 
these must yield caoxtun, or chuuctan. No. 4 perpendicular consists of 
hun, 1, thun, a drop, on tun, a stone, over katun. These six groups 
read: “cacab katunob than bet ctht katun ca puchtun pach bet mazcab 
xanac ; hol bet bet tan kak chuuctan chunthan katun :” “the armies of 
the state made a word, saying, the army when it rebelled made 
prisoners to remain in prison; the chunthan of the army of spoilers 
made a hole (and) made fire in it.” 
The series on the right begins with fet over pak and tun. Next 
comes duluc, 11, over ca and fun. No. 2 has the frontal ornament ca, the 
mouth, cz, and a figure over the face, which might be a roughly executed 
hand, glove, or split stone; but sense requires it to be rw/, end, or hol, 
hole. Then follows Hunichob. In No. 3, d@zzé is followed by ca, 2, and 
kab, hand, while, to the right, Hunichob again appears. No. 4 contains
