INSCRIPTIONS OF THE GREAT PERIOD. 343 
The remaining glyphs on this side, with the exception of £4 and £7, are 
effaced. That Stela 8 is very closely connected with the other six and 
possibly seven monuments, if we include Fragment E’, of this ‘““6 Caban 10 
Mol” group, seems probable from the fact that many of its non-calendric 
glyphs are also found on these other monuments; and that it is late is also 
proved by the character of the tun element in the katun-signs at c3 and Fi. 
These are both the late variant already noted as occurring on the west jamb 
of the south doorway of Temple 11. A summary of this inscription, which 
is the last one presenting the date 6 Caban 10 Mol, follows: | 
Front, A1,B1 9.16.12. 5.17 6 Caban 10 Mol 
(1. 0. o. 5)! not declared

If the effaced glyphs p2, £2, and F2 on Altar W’ (see fig. 46, d) declared 
the date 6 Caban 10 Mol, it would bring this monument also into very close 
relation with the others recording this date, and particularly with Altar Q, 
since it dates from the same hotun as Altar Q (9.17.5.0.0) and has an over- 
lapping Secondary Series of only 6 uinals more. 
We are now in a position to present a brief summary of the dates on the 
several monuments of this group.” The relationships between them appear 
clearly in the table on page 344, where the several dates are arranged 
chronologically, the occurrence of any given date on any given monument 
being noted under that monument. It will be seen from this table that 
three monuments and one temple, namely Altars, U, R, and V and Temple 
11, have 6 Caban 10 Mol as their closing date and are therefore to be regarded 
as having been dedicated or put into formal use on that date. Two, Altar T 
and Stela 8, begin with this important date, and one, Altar Q, commences 
earlier and finishes later, recording this date in passing. 
The earliest date in the entire group is the hotun-ending 9.14.15.0.0 
11 Ahau 18 Zac on the west jamb of the north doorway of Temple 11. The 
two next earliest dates (Altar U) are somewhat uncertain, but beginning 
with 9.15.6.16.17 on Altar Q, for the next 6 years scarcely a year went by 
without the record of at least one date, and sometimes two or even three, 
the last date of this cluster being 9.15.12.5.17, exactly 1 katun earlier than 
9.16.12.5.17 6 Caban 10 Mol. During the next katun only one date is 
recorded, the first on Altar V, 9.16.5.3.6, but in 9.16.12.5.17 6 Caban 10 Mol 
1On page 303 a Secondary Series number of 1.0.0.10 is noted at 11, Altar U, which if counted forward from 
9.15.12.5.7 will give the important date 9.16.12.5.17. Here 1.0.0.5 (five days less) is to be counted forward from 
this latter date to reach the contemporaneous date of this altar.
