The word _cante_ is translated by Perez and Brasseur as _four_, and applied to the Tutulxiu, while the intervening word _anilo_ is not translated by either: _cante_ is no doubt the numeral _four_ with the numeral particle _te_ suffixed. But here a serious difficulty arises. According to all the grammars and dictionaries the particle _te_ is never used for counting persons, but only "years, months, days (periods of time), leagues, cacao, eggs and gourds." Moreover, what is _anilo_? We have, indeed, the form _tenilo_, I am that one, from the particle _i_ (Buenaventura, _Arte de la Lengua Maya_, fol. 27, verso); and we might have _yanilo_, they are those. But this necessitates a change in the text, and if that has to be done I should prefer to suppose that _anilo_ was a mistake of the copyist, and that we should read _katun_ or _katunile_. This would reconcile the numeral particle and would do away with the _four_ Tutulxius, of whom we hear nothing afterwards. _chikin_, the West, literally, that which bites or eats the sun, from _chi_, the mouth, and, as a verb, to bite. An eclipse is called in Maya _chibal kin_, the sun bitten; _ti chikin_, toward the West. _talelob_, plural form of _tal_ or _talel_, to come to, to go from. _chiconahthan_ is not translated by either Pio Perez or Brasseur, nor in that precise form has it any meaning. I take it, however, to be a faulty orthography for _chichcunahthan_ which means to support that which another says, hence, to agree with, to act in concert with; "_chichcunah u thanil_, having renewed the agreement" (_Diccionario de Ticul_). It refers to an agreement entered into by the different leaders who were about to undertake the migration into unknown lands. Possibly, however, this is not a Maya word, but another echo of Aztec legend. _Chiconauhtlan_, "the place of the Nine," was a village and mountain north of the lake of Tezcuco and close to the sacred spot Teotiuacan, where, in Aztec myth, the gods assembled to create the sun and moon (Sahagun, _Historia de Nueva España_, Lib VII, cap. II). _Tulapan Chiconauhtlan_ would thus become a compound local name. It will be seen from the above that the translation which I have given of this paragraph does not satisfy me as certainly correct. I shall now give the original with an interlinear translation, and also those of Pio Perez and Brasseur, adding a free rendering which I am inclined to prefer, although it modifies the text somewhat. _Interlinear Translation._ Lai u tzolan katun lukci This (is) their order the katuns since they departed ti cab, ti yotoch Nonoual cante from the land from their house Nonoual the four anilo, Tutulxiu ti chikin Zuiua, those the (?)
