88. At the same time reigned the ruler Oxlahuh Tzii, oldest son of
the king Vukubatz. These are the nine rulers begotten by our
ancestor, the chief Cibakihay:--Ximox was the name of the wife of
Vukubatz; Oxlahuh Tzii was her eldest son; the chief Cablahuh Batz
was the second; Chopena Tohin was the third; Chopena Tziquin Uqa
was the fourth. These last two ancestors perished in battle.
Chopena Tohin was slain at the place called Tukuru Cakixala, and
Panatacat was the spot where fell Chopena Tziquin Uqa. Chopena Queh
was the fifth; Nima Ahin was the sixth; Xavi Ahin was the name of
the seventh, and Caok and Qatu were the two others. All these
ancestors of ours were equally illustrious.
