4. The _Kupuls_ were the family who reigned in the eastern province, where Valladolid was founded. They long retained their hostility to the Spaniards. _Ekab_ was situated on the coast opposite the island of Cozumel. _Ɔekom_ should probably read Tekom. _Tixcuumcuuc_ no longer exists. _Tinuum_ is a town 4 leagues north of Valladolid, on the road to Itzamal. _Ɔi Ɔantun_ is a town north of Itzamal, said by Sanchez Aguilar to have been the ancient capital of the princely house of the Chels. _Ake_ is probably the modern Ɔonataké. _Catzim_ is now the name of a hacienda in the Department of Itzamal, some distance from the coast. _Ɔelebna_ is unknown. The expression _tumen naob Bon cupul_, translated by Avila "porque esa casa es de Bon Cupul," I think is an error of the copyist for _tumen nacon Cupul_. See also § 18. 5. _Hokzah uba_, they betook themselves. The termination _uba_ is that of the third person of reflexive verbs. Nachi May, already mentioned, was a member of an ancient princely house mentioned by Landa and Sanchez Aguilar. One of them, Ahkin May, was apparently the hereditary high priest. The effort has been made to derive from their name the word _Maya_, and Brasseur would carry us to Haiti in order to discover its meaning (Landa, _Relacion_, p. 42, note), but this is unnecessary. _May_ in the Maya tongue means "a hoof," as of a deer, and is a proper name still in use. There is no reason to suppose it in any way connected with _Maya_. _Matanok_ I take to be an error for _matanon_, from _mat_ (pret. _matnahi_). 6. _Ɔibikal_ may be, as suggested by Dr. Berendt, Tipikal, a town in the district of Merida. There is another of the name in the Sierra Alta (_Estadistica de Yucatan_, 1814). Francisco de Bracamonte is mentioned by Cogolludo as among the first settlers of Merida. 7. Cogolludo mentions Rodrigo Alvarez as "Escribano del juzgado," who came with Montejo (_Historia de Yucatan_, Lib. III, cap. VI, and elsewhere). 8. _U toxol cahob_, the distribution of the towns, literally "the pouring out;" Avila translates it by "cuando se repartian los pueblos." The Spanish system of "repartimientos" and "encomiendas" was adopted in Yucatan,[TN-28] 9. The licentiate Alvares de Caravajal was alcalde mayor from 1554 to 1558. (Cogolludo, _Hist. de Yucatan_, Lib. V. cap. XV.) 10. This was apparently written by Don Pablo Pech, the son of the writer of the remainder of the history, and inserted in order to corroborate the statement just made by his father, that the latter had transferred the magistracy to him.
