TRANSLATION.
1. The fourth ahau was the name of the katun; the births took place;--;
the towns were taken possession of by the rulers.
2. It was the thirteenth katun in which they ruled; these were their
names while they ruled.
3. The fourth ahau was the name of the katun; in it they arrived, the
Great Arrival, the Less Arrival, as they are called.
4. It was the thirteenth katun in which they ruled, in which they took
names, at that time, while they resided here; in the thirteenth the
residence was continued, they resided here.
5. The fourth ahau katun; then took place the search for Chichen Itza;
at that time they were marvelously improved by the fathers. They went
forth in four divisions which were called the four territories. One
division came forth from the east of Kin Colah Peten; one division came
forth from the north of Nacocob; one division came forth from the gate
of Zuyuua to the west; one division came forth from the mountains of
Canhek, the Nine Mountains, as the land is called.
6. The fourth ahau katun; then took place the calling together of the
four divisions, the four territories as they were called, and they
arrived at Chichen Itza and were called the men of Itza. It was the
thirteenth katun in which they ruled; then the plottings were introduced
by Hunnac Ceel, and the territories were destroyed. Then they went into
the midst of the forests, into the midst of Xuluc Mul, so called. The
fourth ahau katun; then singing for their happiness took place. It was
the thirteenth katun in which they governed and had heavy labor.
