Once for all we shall mention the names of these various places: Belehchigag, Belehchi Hunahpu, Xecuh, Xetocoy, Xeuh, Xeamatal Chii, Tzunun Choy, Mount Xecucu, Mount Tzunun, Xiliviztan, Zunpancu, Tecpalan, Tepuztan. They then descended to Cholamag and Zuchitan. Truly, the language there was difficult, and the barbarians alone knew to speak their language. We inquired only of the barbarians, Loxpin and Chupichin, and we said to them when we arrived: “_Vaya, vaya, ela, opa._” They were surprised when we spoke their language to those of Cholamag, and many of them were frightened, but we received only good words. 24.

They went to the places, Meme and Tacna, for the second time. They could not speak well, hence the name _Mem_. Truly, they were good people. They spoke to mock us, and we remained to learn their language. They said to us: “Thou our lord, remain with us; we are thy elder and younger brother; abide with us,” said they. They wished us to forget our speech, but our heart was as a stone when we arrived with them. 25.
