4. These are the sayings of Gagavitz and Zactecauh, and these are
the very words which Gagavitz and Zactecauh spoke: “Four men came
from Tulan; at the sunrise is one Tullan, and one is at Xibalbay,
and one is at the sunset; and we came from this one at the sunset;
and one is where is God. Therefore there are four Tulans, they say,
oh our sons; from the sunsetting we came, from Tullan, from beyond
the sea; and it was at Tullan that arriving we were brought forth,
coming we were produced, by our mothers and our fathers, as they
say.
