The writer begins with the 12th ahau, although nothing is noted until the 6th. Here we have the brief entry _paxciob ahoni_. This might be translated "those of Oni were driven out or scattered." But no such locality is known or mentioned elsewhere. The _Diccionario de Motul, MS._ gives the meaning of _ahoni_ as "pulido, galan, muy bien vestido," _ahoni a talel ex_, "you come very well dressed." I suppose, therefore, that it was a term applied to some early tribe who distinguished themselves in comparison with their ruder neighbors by elegance of costume. Later we shall find a similar term, "breechless foreigners," applied to another tribe whose condition of nudity suggested their appellation.
