" The Mexicans counted only by cycles; they designated the ter- 

 mination of a cycle by a hieroglyphic representing a bundle of reeds 

 tied up; and they sometimes designated, by an equal number of 

 small circles, the number of cycles which had elapsed, since the be- 

 ginning of their era corresponding with the year 1091. But the 

 Yucatecos, besides their cycle of 52 years, had another, containing 

 thirteen periods of twenty or twenty-four years each. These last 

 mentioned periods were called Ajau or JLhau"
