25. These were also a part of the names of the places: they went to
Zakiteuh and Zakiqua, the midst of Tubinal, the midst of Chacachil,
Tzulahauh which reaches to the sky, the midst of Nuüxor, the midst
of Moinal, the midst of Carchah. They passed over with the sons of
Valil and the sons of Tzunun. They went forth from Merac and
Nacxit. Truly this one (Nacxit) was a great lord, and the vassals
who aided him to seize the sovereignty were themselves rulers and
chieftains. He invested Orbaltzam, and said that his name should be
Cinpual Taxuch. Truly he finished by making himself the most dear
of all men to all the warriors by the words spoken to all by this
lord Nacxit: “You have come to be the stone framework, the support
of my house; I will give to you sovereignty, and give you Cinpuval
Taxuch.” So said he to all the warriors. “I have not placed the
stones of the others,” so said he to them. And thus they came to
erect the stone framework. Therefore, Nacxit completed the
appointment of a companion in the sovereignty, and they cried out
aloud with joy.
