1 2 5 6 9 10 13 3 4 7 8 11 12 14 15 16. An Ahau is added here as the 17th sign, which is very unusual. We find elements here forming the hieroglyphs into groups in three different ways. 1. The signs 1, 5, 9 and 13 designate the four cardinal points as they so often stand together in this Manuscript in the order of East, North, West and South, _i.e._, in the sequence of the annual and not of the diurnal course of the sun. 2. The hieroglyphs 2, 6, 10 and 14 are all alike and are the head with the Akbal eye, which in 6 is closed. 3. The three persons pictured here all carry a Kan sign in their hands, probably as the offering they have received. Similarly we found the Kan sign held in the hand twice on page 16b. The first picture is B; his sign is the third with the _q_ in 4 as a determinative, which has above it a Ben-Ik sign. The second figure is a goddess with a serpent as head-ornament, though we find in the 7th sign, not her hieroglyph, but merely the one generally used to denote a woman. 8 is the usual _a_, which in my opinion is the sign for the _good_ days, to which also the Kan sign refers in the hands of the three personages. The third picture is that of the sun-god G; his hieroglyph is the 11th, to which in 12 is added the sign _q_, the sign for the bad days, with a superfix. The fourth picture is wanting. According to the 15th hieroglyph it should be the maize deity E. My theory that 16 is the sign for the week of 13 days is supported by the fact that the division into 4 × 13 days is the prevailing one. Page 23b.

The 5th day added after the 16th must be a mistake (suggested by the 5th day of the last section) for it is usually the first of the days, which is repeated superfluously. The hieroglyphs are:-- 1 2 7 11 15 19 23 3 4 8 12 16 20 24 5 6 9 13 17 21 25 10 14 18 22 26. Contrary to practice the first section has six hieroglyphs, and the other five but four each. As the characteristic hieroglyph we find in 1, 7, 11, 15, 19 and 23 a sign, the meaning of which is still undetermined and which we shall meet again on page 60, where it may refer to darkness.
