The next tonalamatl (see lower part of pl. 28, that is, Dresden 15c) has 10 day signs arranged in two parallel columns of 5 each. This, at its face value, would seem to be divided into 10 divisions, and the calculations confirm the results of the preliminary inspection. The tonalamatl opens with the day 3 Lamat. Adding to this the first black number, 12, the day reached will be 2 Ahau, of which only the 2 is recorded here. Adding to 2 Ahau the next black number, 14, the day reached will be 3 Ix. And since 14 is the last black number, this new day will be the beginning of the next division in the tonalamatl and will appear as the upper day sign in the second column.[247] Commencing with 3 Ix and adding to it the first black number 12, the day reached will be 2 Cimi, and adding to this the next black number, 14, the day reached will be 3 Ahau, which appears as the second glyph in the first column. This same operation if carried throughout will give the following outline of this tonalamatl: ---------------------+----------+---------+----------+----------+-------- |1st |2d |3d |4th |5th |Division |Division |Division |Division |Division ---------------------+----------+---------+----------+----------+-------- 1st part, 12 days, | | | | | beginning with day |3 Lamat |3 Ix |3 Ahau |3 Cimi |3 Eb | | | | | 2d part, 14 days, | | | | | beginning with day |2 Ahau |2 Cimi |2 Eb |2 Eznab |2 Kan | | | | | Total number of days |26 |26 |26 |26 |26 ---------------------+----------+---------+----------+----------+-------- {262} (Concluded)
