204 THE INSCRIPTIONS AT COPAN. 
But we have seen that this is the day of our Initial Series terminal date, 7. ¢., 
9.13.10.0.0 7 Ahau 3 Cumhu; and it is therefore probable that the 7 Ahau, 
reached by counting 6.11.12 forward from 7 Lamat, is the day 9.13.10.0.0 
7 Ahau 3 Cumhu, and from this the Initial Series of the day 7 Lamat in 
Glyph 27 can be shown to have been 9.13.3.6.8 7 Lamat 1 Mol, as follows: 
9.13.10. 0.0 7 Ahau 3 Cumhu 
G.11.02 
0.130.3..0. 8 7 Laimatiavio. 
This latter date is just nine and one-third tonalamatls earlier than the 
lahuntun-ending commemorated by this monument, which recalls the fact 
that four-fifths of a tonalamatl was also recorded on Stela I. There follows 
a résumé of the chronological parts of this inscription:

Stela J was probably the first monument erected after the Great Plaza 
was laid out. At least, it is the earliest monument which has a definite 
correlation with a structure (Mound 3) belonging to the Great Plaza.
