101. The day of the revolt was appointed by this chief, Cay
Hunahpu, and on this day, 11th Ah, the revolt broke out. Then the
Tukuches were drawn out of the city, to the other side of the
river, and all the Tukuche warriors went there also, that they
might enter the city; but the warriors of the kings Cablahuh Tihax
and Oxlahuh tzy opposed them. One division of warriors was enough
to drive them off, encouraged by the words of the kings, a division
from Xechipeken; and these of Xechipeken, with their ruler the
counselor Cinahitoh, distinguished themselves by their bravery.
_Ru camibal Tukuchee va kitzih xyaar chi camic._
_The Destruction of the Tukuches, who were, in fact, Massacred._
