dman is b-ith great cycle, 9 cjcles, 12 katuns, 3 ahaus,Mchuens, 0 days—5 Ahau—the month date should be 8 Uo, but theglyph which here follows after the initial directive series is obliter-ated. The ahau symbol is here the figure of a birds head, and thenumber a symbol. The month symbol, which Mr Goodman says isobliterated, is, on the contrary, quite distinct, the only injury beinga slight break in the attached numeral, which appears to be 6. Themonth sjmbol is apparently that of Chen; if of Uo, it is a quite unu-sual forui. However, as this does not connect with any other date, weturn to the inscription on the north side. Mr Goodmans statement in regard to this inscription is as follows: There 10 Ahau 13 Chen is designated as the beginning of a katun—an 8th katun asgiven * * * There follows a reckoning of 8 days and 10 chuens from 10 Ahau13 Chen to 10 Lamat—the month date not given, but we know it must be 16 Pop.
