34. Then they saw at a distance those called the Cakixahay and the
Qubulahay, subjects of the Ikomagi. They were captured after they
had been routed by a surprise, when they were not far from a place
called Chigalibal. They were pardoned when they arrived, and our
warriors extended their hands to them. Hence that place was called
Chigalibal. They said, in yielding: “I am your brother, your elder.
You are the conquerors. We are the subjects of your throne and your
power. I swear it before these who are my subjects.” Thus spoke the
Ikomagi, and thus their subjects, the Cakixahay and the Qubulahay.
Thus did Ikomag submit and save his life. With them the Zotzils
brought forth those fathers and elders, the Ahpozotzils named
Qulavi Zochoh and Qulavi Qanti. But only their families, not their
vassals, proceeded therefrom.
