i8o The passage moves on to a description of the Burner (Ah Toe) fire ceremonies, of their periodicity and directional associations (see the footnotes to chapter 24). The four Burners appear to be a replication of the pattern of quadripartite gods represented also by the yearbearers, the Fathers of the Land (Ba Cabob), the sun giants (Pauahtunob), the rain giants (Chacob), and others.

These are their names. 5000 This is the account Of the Burners That are in the uinal: Four of them, By themselves. 5005 There is 4 Chicchan, And 10 Chicchan who gets the fire, And 11 Chicchan who quenches the fire, The bearer of the uinal in the east. There is 4 Oc, 5010 And 10 Oc who gets the fire, And 11 Oc who quenches the fire, The bearer of the uinal in the north. There is 4 Men, And 10 Men who gets the fire, 5015 And 11 Men who quenches the fire, The bearer of the uinal in the west. There is 4 Ahau, And 10 Ahau who gets the fire, And 11 Ahau who quenches the fire, 5020 The bearer of the uinal in the south. These then are the Burners. It is they who are seated at the base of the uinal. Those that begin on the count Kan, You will find Chicchan on the second of the count. 5025 When you find wherever 4 Chicchan is, Thus you will find all of the Burners in the uinals, Whether they are in Pop Or in Uo. And then wherever is exactly half 5030 You will see the squaring of the 4993. The manuscript avoids mentioning the month of Uayeb by name. 4999. Here is a detailed account of the Burners (Ah Tocob), who governed fire ceremonies centered on a day with the numeral prefix 4 but involving the announcement of the cycle forty days beforehand, a ceremonial fire twenty days before, and the extinguishing of the fire twenty days after each of the significant dates.
The final lines imply divination from the sign of the European zodiac in which the moon lies, and the emphasis in the whole passage is agricultural— when to plant, expected harvest, etc. The continuing use ofglyphic writing in the katun that began with the nineteenth century (line 5055) is noteworthy.

Good judgment is very necessary To helping those who are planters. 5035 When they desire for it to be good, Politely requesting the filling in of the corn ears, The ears will come out sweet. You will see they are whenever there are enough days. Either the request is fulfilled 5040 Or it is to the east that you must sow. It will be piles and piles to be bundled up Because of the birds. And also you will see Whether there was a moon 5045 In the signs Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, 5050 Or Capricorn. All of these signs Are not bad for sowing. It will be pleasant to use something That you will plant in the field. 5055 That you will see in the glyph writing Of future day counts. Go into what is hidden: Thus you will see, You 5060 Planters. 5034. Here we change the subject to consider divination for agriculture, including the use of prayer, the moon, and the signs of the European zodiac. Most of the signs fall in the summer: Taurus (April 20 to May 20), Cancer (June 22 to July 22), Virgo (August 23 to September 22), Libra (September 23 to October 23), and Capricorn (December 22 to January 19).
