the Initial-series value of this new date, 1 Cib 14 Kankin, also can 

 be calculated from it: 



9.12.14.10.11 9 Chuen 9 Kankin 



5 

 9.12.14.10.16 1 Cib 14 Kankin 

 Passing over G5 as unknown, we reach in G6-G7 another Secondary- 

 series number. The student \\dll have little difficulty in identifying 

 G6 as 2 uinals, 5 kins, and G7 as 1 katun. It will be noted that no 

 tun sign appears in tliis number, which is a very unusual condition. 

 By far the commoner practice in such cases in which miits of some 

 period are involved is to record the period with a coefficient 0. How- 

 ever, this was not done in the present case, and since no tuns are 

 recorded, we may conclude that none were involved, and G6-G7 

 may be written 1,(0). 2. 5. Reducing this number to units of the first 

 order, we have: 



G7 = 1X7, 200 = 7, 200 

 0) OX 360= 



G6 = 2X 20= 40 

 G6 = 5X 1= 5 



7, 245 

 Remembering that the starting point from which this number is 

 counted is the date next preceding it, 1 Cib 14 Kankin, and applying 

 rules 1, 2, and 3 (pp. 139, 140, and 141, respectively), the terminal date 

 reached mil be 5 Imix 19 Zac ; this latter date is recorded in G8-G9. 

 Compare G8 wdth the sign for Imix in figure 16, a, h, and G9 with the 

 sign for Zac in figure 19, s, t. Moreover, since the Initial Series of 

 1 Cib 14 Kankin was obtained by calculation from the date next pre- 

 ceding it, the Initial Series of 5 Imix 19 Zac may be determined in the 

 same way. 



9.12. 14.10.16 1 Cib 14 Kankin 

 1. 0.^2. 5 



9.13. 14.13. 1 5 Imix 19 Zac 



With the above date closes the known part of tliis text, the remaining 

 glyphs, G10-G12, being of unkno\\^l meaning. 



Assemblmg all the glyphs deciphered above, the known part of 

 tliis text reads as follows :
