METHOD OF NUMBERING THE AHAUES. 



49 



We are therefore left in doubt as to whether the calculation necessary 

 in comparing the date in one system with the same date in the other was 

 made by his authorities or was his own. It is evident that it nuist have 

 been made by them or by him, as it could not have been given by the 

 Indians. Be this as it may, it is based upon the theory that the 7 Cauac 

 mentioned was the first year of the Ahau in which the event noted occurred, 

 a supposition by no means necessary. 



Following out this supposition, he is compelled to place the death of 

 Ajpula in the year 1493, thus antedating this event by 43 years. It also 

 leads him into the absurdity of placing the first arrival of the Spaniards 

 on the coast of Yucatan — which occurred in the 2d Ahau — between the 

 years 1464 and 1488. 



In order to make this plain, I refer to the Tables XVIII and XIX 

 constructed on his theory, and also to the continuous list of years covering 

 the 8th, 6th, 4th, 2d, and 13th Ahaues (Table XX). The year 1392 and 

 that in which he places the death of Ajpula (1493) are designated on the 

 tables and on the list by a star.
