i6 THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY In 1461 it was at Chichen Itza, and the 13 Gods provided poor fare. That was the fate of the time according to their own word in 1461. (210) And Chichen Itza summoned the lord of Uxmal to celebrate the date under the East priest Xib Chac and the priest of Quetzalcoatl, Kukul Can. Then the Itza were betrayed, which led to fighting and slaughter and shooting and sin. (230) And, because it was time for Uaxac Ahau T u Ch'i Chen 200 Ox lahun ku* Uich Ox te Sa cum Lai 205 Hi u tepal Ti tal i T u than Ox lahun ti ku Uaxac Ahau uchc i 210 T u Ch'i Chen Ca tz'ibtab i* U y ahau Ah Uxmal Ca tal i 215 U chek eb* T u pach Chac Xib Chac T u menel Ah Nacxit Kukul Can* 220 Ca em i* U katlam Ah Itza e* Ca tal i Hoc* Mucuc tza 225 Homol tza Tz'on Bacal tza Ti ca oc i Keban ul i 230 T u men Ah Uaxac Ahau xan e Ca uchic 8 Ahau Was at Chichen Itza. The 13 Gods' Aspect Was breadnut tree And atole gourd. That was Exactly its rule, Which was spoken In the words Of the 13 Gods. 8 Ahau occurred At Chichen Itza. Then it was written To the lord Of the people of Uxmal. Then came The pacing of the pyramid Behind the East priest Xib Chac For the priest of Quetzalcoatl, Kukul Can. Then befell The betrayal of the Itza. Then came Uprooting And removal by burial, Removal by dart shooting, And blowgun, And removal by shot. When that started, Sin arrived. Also because of 8 Ahau There was then 201. Barrera 1948: 223 has 'where he was the most elaborately worshipped face'. I can't follow his reasons. 212. Barrera 1948: 223 has 'then it happened that a painting was sent to the Lord of Uxmal and he came to leave the imprint of his feet on the back of the Red Fearsome Chac'. 216. The ritual began with the "pacing of the pyramid" of the seat of the katun, in this case Chichen Itza. The Xiu were invited to participate. 220. The lord of the katun was the East priest Xib Chac. He was to be assisted by the priest of Quetzalcoatl, Kukul Can. Nacxitl (Náhuatl nahui icxitl 'four leg') is one of the names of Quetzalcoatl. Kukul Can 'quetzal snake' is the Mayan equivalent but is also in this instance a personal name. The Can lineage was prominent in Chichen Itza and Izamal. 221. The Itza were double-crossed and war broke out over the lordship of the katun. 222. Barrera 1948: 223 says 'the exodus of the Water Witch'. 224. Barrera 1948: 223 says 'there came fighting in hiding, fighting with fury, fighting with violence, fighting without mercy'. At lines 321 ff. he translates the same words as 'there will come snatching of bags and rapid and violent war'.
the ceiba sacrifices to end the cycle, all at once Chichen Itza's term ended and Izamal's began. It was ended by Ul Ahau three years early, the priestly office. Itzam Can and Ahau Can appeared, and Hapay Can was named priest designate. Ul Ahau was lord of Izamal, whose gods collected the tribute. Then the katun ended, and the rule of Izamal with it, and Hapay Can was sacrificed. The Izamal Rabbits and the Center priest Bol Ay arrived among the EIGHT AHAU 17 Huí yax che* Bai ca uch t u ca ten Hi uilbal u cuch* 235 T u kinil ual e Hun uatz' Hun tz'on ual e Uaxac Ahau ca uch i Ulel Ytzmal 240 Tabtab i T u men sipc i Ah Ulil Ahau Lai* U hetz' katun uch i 245 Ichil uuc lahum pis katun U than U tepal kul Ytzam Caan hok i Ahau Caanil 250 Y etel Hapai Caan Ti tabtab i* Ah Ytzmal Ul Ahau Ti uch i 255 Patán u mehen kul Itzmal (l3r)Cahoki U tah katun Ti uch i Tepal Itzmal ca tz'oc i 260 Hapai Can e* T an u num ya Ah Ytzmal Thul ca ul i* Yax Bol Ai ca ul i* Kuch 265 Tan y ol caan The appearance of the ceiba, And thus it occurred again. It may have been the moon phase of the burden At the time of the return, One turn, One shot returning. 8 Ahau was over. Coming up was Izamal, To be all tied up By the fault Of Ul Ahau, Who Was the seating of the katun In the seventeenth measure of the katun: The word, The rule of the gods. Itzam Can appeared, Ahau Can, And Hapay Can, Who was all tied up. The lord of Izamal Was Ul Ahau. Then occurred The tribute of the sons of the gods to Izamal. Then came The division of the katun. That happened: The rule of Izamal then ended. Hapay Can then Had his suffering. Itzmal Thul then appeared; The Center priest Bol Ay then appeared, Arriving In the middle of the Cans 233. Barrera 1948: 223 reads 'weakening of the ceiba'. He loses me, but I think the scansion precludes his interpretation. 235. Barrera 1948: 223 has 'but who will know the burden he will bring when he has completely turned around? ' 244. From some other text, Barrera 1948: 224 adds 'for the sin he had committed with the espoused wife of another lord his friend, which brought on war'. 252. Barrera 1948: 224 has Ul Ahau tied up. I think the terminative i precludes this. 261. Hapay Can 'swallowing snake' was arrow sacrificed at Uxmal, according to Tozzer 1941: 35. 263. Barrera 1948: 224 reads this as a place-name. 264. Barrera 1948: 224 translates yax bolay as 'great butcher beasts' and kuch t an y ol caan as 'celestial buzzards in the center of the Heart of Heaven'.
