10. Those of Rabinal came, the Zotzil men came, the Tukuchee came,
the Tuhalahay, the Vuchabahay, the Ahqhumilahay, the Lamagi came,
the Cumatz, the men of Akahal came, the Tucuru ended it; and thus
all are given. After that came thirteen warriors, we the Bacah
Pokoh, and the Bacah Xahil; one of us went first, and one followed
after; the first Bacah was Bacah Pok, who went first, and we
followed after, we the Bacah Xahil, as was said by our first
fathers, our ancestors, oh you our sons. Already the seven
villages had come, and some time after began the coming of the
warriors.--Then we came, we the Cakchiquel men. Truly, we were the
last, as we arrived at Tulan, and there was not another remaining
when we came, as said Gagavitz and Zactecauh; we were ordered to
come thus: “These are your houses, these your clans;” they said to
Gekaquch, Baqahol, and Cibakihay: “These are your head chiefs,
even one head chief, and one official messenger;” thus they said
to Gekaquch, Baqahol, and Cibakihay. “Bring forth daughters, bring
forth sons, marry one another, ye rulers,” said they. Therefore
those were mothers and ancestors. But the first, the first came
the Cibakihay, then came the Baqahol, and then came the Gekaquch,
the first clans.
