Zuyua was the seat of katun<br />

3 Ahau. As fated, Zuyua got the<br />

lordship. Ahau Can as Jaguar<br />

ruled in Merida. With the return<br />

of the constellation Nok,<br />

the Center priest Coc Ay the<br />

Crier was lord. (3738)<br />

Was the seat<br />

3725 Of the katun<br />

In 3 Ahau.<br />

Like its word,<br />

Zuyua<br />

3730 Was the seat of the lordship.<br />

Divided like the skin of the<br />

Rattlesnake,<br />

Just like the skin of the Jaguar<br />

In Heaven Born Merida.<br />

In three days<br />

3735 Was the return of the stars<br />

Of Nok on high.<br />

The Center priest Coc Ay Mut was<br />

the person<br />

In the lordship.<br />

3732. Ahau Can 'lord snake, rattlesnake', like Jaguar, is a title of the lord of the<br />

katun, who wore both jaguar and rattlesnake skin robes. Landa 1929:1: 72 gives<br />

the full title as ahau can may 'rattlesnake of the cycle' and equates it with ah kin<br />

may 'sun priest of the cycle'. Ahau Can was also the personal name of notables at<br />

Chichen Itza in 8 Ahau (1461) and at Merida in 5 Ahau (1598).<br />

3736. Nok 'clothes' may be an unidentified constellation, presumably one visible<br />

in Yucatan at the approach of the half katun: 2 Ahau 2 Zac, December 27,<br />

1628. On the offhand guess that the reference was to Halley's Comet, I've checked<br />

it out. The only occurrence of that comet within a recent 3 Ahau was in 1378.<br />

3737. See note 2987. Landa 1929: 2: 28 considers Yax Coc Ay Mut a god name.
