joicing of the rebels, as Ol Zip
held the fire ceremonies, fasting.
And the mats were folded,
marking the new decade and
the old one, by the priest of the
Center, who sorrowfully confronted
the new ruler and gave
the power into his custody,
marking the half katun with his
confession to the rain god. And
immediately Ol Zip did penance
on his body. Then the
dance was held for the two
gods, the old and the new, and
he destroyed the idol commemorating
the plague and punish-

At the return that has occurred,
On the day that the 7 priest Ol Zip
seizes fire,
On the day of seizure of the pangs of
thirst,
On the day of the removal
Of the remainder of the mats,
The remainder of the plates,
Erecting
The beginning of the tun
And its opposite also,
And the sun priest
Green are his clothes,
Ragged,
A miserable tun.
Amayte was the person
Who was father of the remainder,
The man on the throne,
And it is given to him,
The remaining time—
To the ruler
To keep.
That was the appearance
Of the 11 priest Ch'ab Tan.
That was the occasion
When he bared his soul
To the idol
Of the rain god,
Or that was the occasion, one shout,
One shot.
That was the time
Of the itch either
On the back
Or the belly.
That was the time
For dancing,
For Ua Tun,
Niy Pop,
Ma Zuy,
The time of Ahal Cab,
And when he shall have felled the
stone of Kin Chil
Of Chac Chib.
That was the occasion of the arrival
Of the time of the red plague,
2082. The old dispensation required the erection of monuments, the new one
the inspection of mats. There may be more sense here than I can find in the
dictionaries.
