In giving a date, therefore, instead of giving the day name alone, 
the day and number both are necessary, thus: 4 Ahau, 3 Kan, 11 Ik, 
ete. But to complete the date so that it can be located in the 52-year 
cycle of the Mayas, the ‘‘ calendar round,” as Mr Goodman calls it, or in 
its proper relative position, it is necessary to haye the month and day of 
the month, thus: 4 Ahau 18 Ceh; that is to say, + Ahau, the eighteenth 
day of the (twelfth) month Ceh. The numbering of the months never 
changes; that is, Ceh is always the twelfth, Pop always the first, Uo the 
second, and so on. 
As may be seen from what has been stated, the years must begin 
(under the system here followed) with the days Akbal, Lamat, Ben, 
and Ezanab, following each other in regular order, and before the 
possible changes have been completed each must receive the entire 13 
numerals; hence it is apparent that the period necessary to cover these 
changes is 52 years (4X13). If the year begin with 1 Akbal (hence 
valled the year 1 Akbal), it will end (counting 365 days) with 1 Manik. 
As the next day is 2 Lamat, this will be the first day of the next year 
(2 Lamat). This year will end with 2 Eb and the next will begin with 
3 Ben. This will end with 3 Caban and the next begin with + Ezanab.
