104. Thirty-one days after the revolt, as the Quiches desired to

105. On the 36th day after the revolt Cinahitoh perished, because
he coveted the position of the orator Ahmoxnay. Cinahitoh wished to

was condemned by all the chiefs, and his death was carried into
effect in the city on the day 11th Can.

Tukuches, when the Tzutuhils were defeated at Zakcab on the day 1st
