Chapter V: Part 5

75. This chief, our ancestor, Vukubatz, had as father Citan Tihax
Cablah, who was the son of the king Citan Qatu and Tihax Cablah.
The latter let the power pass to our ancestor, and the king Caynoh
and the king Citan Qatu thus obtained the power. Our ancestor,
summoned by the king Qikab and by all the chiefs and leading men,
from all parts, was placed in the royal power, and thus our
ancestors Vukubatz and Huntoh were then the two kings.

76. Xeoc na chi ahauarem ka mama [c]ate[c]a ok xqui la[t]abeh tinamit Chiavar [c,]upita[t]ah.

76. When our ancestors had taken possession of the royalty, they
settled the towns of Chiavar and Tzupitagah. Truly the king Qikab
ruled with great glory when our ancestors Huntoh and Vukubatz
reigned. Those warriors inspired terror, nor were their histories
forgotten, and the fame was recalled of our first fathers and
ancestors, Gagavitz, Zactecauh, Caynoh, Caybatz, and Citan Qatu.
Truly there were magic power and wisdom in our ancestors Huntoh and
Vukubatz; they assumed glory and majesty. Truly many were the
cities and peoples who submitted to them, and over whom they had
triumphed with the king Qikab and all the warriors. For this great
monarch inspired terror throughout the seven nations, and his
warriors carried war in all directions; and therefore great was the
glory of the king Qikab. These are all the towns which they had
conquered before the insurrection broke out which the Quiches made
against their king Qikab:--

78. All these towns were conquered by Huntoh and Vukubatz, and by
the king Qikab, when our ancestors settled at Chiavar and made that
town.

_Ru tiqueric [c]a [c]haoh chirih [c]ikab vae._

_Beginning Of The Revolt Against Qikab._

79. Tok xtiquer [c]a [c]haoh chirih ahauh [c]ikab, ruma [c]eche vinak; xavi ru chinamital ahauh xyaco [c]haoh, xa xqiz ru chinamital ahauh chucohol nimak achij: tzukul richin maqui chi tah xhito ri al[c]ahol xraho [c]eche vinak; xa xrah rambey akan ruma [c]eche vinak, xax maqui vi [c]a xraho ahauh. He pokon re runa ahauh ri nimak achij, maqui xe ruya ri hitol quij. Quere[c]a xbe vi chiuh ahauh ri ruma [c]eche vinak, xax qui chup qui [t]a[t]al.

79. Then began a revolt against the king Qikab by the Quiche men;
the family of the king was the cause of the contest. The family of
the king perished with many of the people. The Quiches would not
promise the homage as vassals which he asked of them. They wished
that the roads should be free to the Quiche people, which the king
would not grant. Therefore many of the people disliked the king and
they would not pay him their dues. For this reason the Quiches
turned against the king and his glory diminished.

80. He [c]a cay ru [c]ahol ahauh tan que [t]a[t]ar. Tatayac rubi hun, Ah Ytza rubi hunchic; Chituy, Quehnay qui bi cay chic, xavi e qui [c]ahol ahaua: he [c]a xe rach qui chiih [c]eche vinak ri, xtiho naek [c]a chirichin ahauh cuma ru [c]ahol xax maqui chi vi [c]a xeruya ri hitol qui; e pokon xeruna ri tzukul richin; quere[c]a xbe vi chirih ahauh ri cuma ru [c]ahol.

80. The two sons of the king were already distinguished. Tatayac
was the name of the one, Ah Itza the name of the other. Chituy and
Quehnay were the two sons of these princes. These took the part of
the Quiches, and the king was thus opposed to his own sons, who
incited the people not to pay their dues, already irritated on
account of their subjection; and thus it came that the king was
against his own sons. Thus Tatayac and Ahitza were opposed to their
father, for they coveted the royal power, and desired the precious
stones, the metals, the slaves and people of their father. At this
time there was a council of the Quiches against the warriors
maintained by the king, and they began to put to death all those of
the first rank in the royal service.

81. Va[c]a quibi cahaual nimak achije: Herech, Ta[t]unun, Xhu[c,]uy, Eventec, Acacot, Camachal qui bi. Kitzih [c]i yatak cal qui [c]ahol, ri hutok [c]hob, chi ahpopo.

81. These are the names of those of the royal service: Herech,
Tagunun, Xhutzuy, Eventec, Azacot, Camachal. Then all the populace
and the heads of the tribes assembled together. His people did not
assemble around the king that they might not be killed, and the
houses of the rulers were entered by the people and the rulers
were slain by the people; not by order of the king; for the king
was then in the village of Panpetak. The populace there wished also
to kill the king. But the orders of his sons prevailed in the royal
house at Panpetak. The king Qikab humbled himself before the
people. Therefore the people began again to kill those of the house
of Xahil. Again the king humbled himself before the people, trying
to appease them with his precious stones and metals. He gave up the
power of the rulers to the people and divided with them his royal
rights. The heart of the king Qikab was bruised by his sons Tatayac
and Ah Itza, by that which they had done. Therefore the royal glory
perished at the hands of the people of all the classes, and the
thirteen divisions and the powers they held were given up, and the
glory of the Quiches was extinguished in the revolt against the
orders of the king Qikab. Then perished the ancient glory of the
nation, O you my children; for since then the people acted, and the
king is made such by the people. Truly they had then pity for the
king, for the thirteen tribes having obtained the power, the
contest of the Quiches was ended; but when it was near its end, it
suddenly broke out anew among our fathers.

_Ru xe chi[c]a [c]haoh vae._

_Another Revolt Follows._

82. Ok xtiquer chic [c]haoh chiquih ahaua Huntoh, Vukuba[c,], Chuluc, Xitamal Queh, cahi chi ahaua vae.

Quere bila xquil [t]a[t]al maqui xtakex chic rutzih ahauh cuma, quere[c]a qui yon tanti quiban labal tiquina.

82. Then another revolt began against the four leaders--Huntoh,
Vukubatz, Chuluc and Xitamal Queh. It was a woman who was the
occasion of this revolt with the Zotzils Tukuches, a woman named
Nimapam Xcacauh, and she caused the revolt. This woman had come to
sell bread in the town of Gumarcah, and one of the guards of the
Quiche prince had tried to take the bread from her by force; the
woman had refused to give up the bread to the guard, and the man
was driven away with a stick by the woman. Then they wished to take
and kill the man on account of this woman, Nimapan Xcacauh.
Therefore the contest was started by the Quiches; the Quiches
wished that the woman should be killed. But the woman was not
surrendered to the Quiches by our ancestors Huntoh and
Vucubatz.[TN-20] The Quiches, therefore, wished to humble these
princes, and they wished to make the king Qikab do this. In anger
the Quiches called a council and said: "Only the Ahpozotzils and
the Ahpoxahils have obtained the glory and the power; let us kill
them, for only Huntoh and Vukubatz have glory." Thus did the people
speak to our ancestors. They wished to tempt the king Qikab to
harass and slay the Zotzil Tukuches. But the king would not listen
to the words of the Quiches. Truly the heart of the ruler was with
Huntoh and Vukubatz. For truly great was the knowledge of Qikab and
marvelous the power of this ruler. Not only was he a king in
majesty, but also he overawed by his learning and the depth of his
spirit, derived from Tullan. Therefore when the people saw his
wisdom, they sought not to instruct him; they troubled not his
majesty nor accepted the words of the king, but pursued alone the
war which they had wished.

_Qui pixababal [c]a qui ahaua vae._

_The Orders which were Given to the Rulers._

83. Cani [c]a xel pe ru camahel ahauh takol ahaua, tok xhique rucamic Co[c,]il Tukuche, ruma [c]eche vinak. Tok xepixabam quij ahaua cha[t]a, xcha [c]a ri ahauh [c]ikab chique ahauh Huntoh Vukuba[c,]: Mani ru xe mani ru vi kalabal yvuquin, yxnu[c]ahol; mi[c]a xi[c,]et mixban chuvichin: mixrayx valabil nu vinak nu xit nu pavak, quere chi [c]a xtiban chivichin.

Mani x[c]ulelaan can [c]eche vinak.

83. Then the king sent his messenger to announce to the rulers that
the Quiches had resolved on the death of the Zotzil Tukuches. At
the same time he sent to the rulers that they should come during
the night, and the king Qikab spoke in these terms to the rulers
Huntoh and Vukubatz: "It is neither the beginning nor the end of
this war made against us, O my children. It has been seen what they
have done to me. They have robbed me of my slaves, my family, my
treasures, my precious metals. They wish to do the same with you.
Go forth, therefore, my children, my younger brothers, my elder
brothers." Then he gave his orders: "The lot is cast. Cease at once
from the exercise of a power which you should share with me.
Abandon this city to the revolted populace. Let your words no more
be heard, my children. Go to where you can establish yourselves, to
Iximche, on the Ratzamut. Build there houses and a city, and
construct a road on which all the people may pass and rest. Abandon
Chiavar. As for you, people, if you succeed, may my words come to
you as a curse." Thus spoke the king Qikab to our ancestors. Then
the commands were given to the rulers, and the words of the king
were sent to our ancestors. Nor did the Quiches oppose them.

_Ha [c]a ok xe pe Chiavar vae._

_This is When they Went Forth from Chiavar._

84. Ha chi oxlahuh y[t], xtole can tinamit Chiavar, ok xebokotah pe kamama Chiavar, [c]upita[t]ah.

84. It was on the 13th day of the month Yg that they abandoned the
town of Chiavar, when our ancestors were forced to leave Chiavar
and Tzupitagah. On the 13th Yg they descended, burning many roads.
On the 1st Akbal they halted, still burning the roads, which made
twice that they burned them, after which they established the town
of Iximche, on the Ratzamut; they founded the town of Iximche; then
settled there our ancestors Huntoh, Vukubatz, Chuluc and Xitamal
Queh, these four rulers, the sovereigns of the Cakchiquel people.
As soon as they were settled, they placed themselves in readiness
for war with the Quiches, and our ancestors built a stronghold. All
the people rejoiced at the establishment of the city by these
illustrious heroes, the rulers Huntoh and Vukubatz; for they had
fought on the side of the king Qikab. Therefore all the warriors of
the seven nations rejoiced. The Quiches could do nothing more, and
soon all the cities recovered their power. Messengers of the seven
nations came to the Ahpozotzils and the Ahpoxahils, and all the
warriors said: "You have done well to leave Chiavar, my brother, my
elder; well done, Ahpozotzil and Ahpoxahil; you have done well to
come here to Iximche. There was but one brave man with Cavek and
the Quiches, there was but one royal heart with them; but hereafter
he will not go to war with the Quiches." Such was the speech of all
the seven nations when they came to visit the rulers. All the
warriors of the seven nations gave their words, when the city of
Iximche was founded, that they would separate from the Quiches and
would not form an alliance with them. Therefore, my children, when
our ancestors founded the city of Iximche, the war of the Quiches
against the Cakchiquels had not begun. They had but gazed at each
other. Our ancestors first took the sword in hand. When war was
declared against the Quiches by our ancestors Huntoh and Vukubatz,
the people of Qizqab had inhabited for a long time the towns of
Chakihya and Xivanul, and our people were settled at Xechibohoy and
at Xechituh. Soon after the Quiches were established, two of their
strongholds were seized by our ancestors; Qizqab having been killed
by our ancestors at Xechituh, the Quiches abandoned Chakihya and
Xivanul. The Quiches were frightened at seeing the war begin with
the death of Qizqab at Xechituh by the orders of the rulers. The
Quiches then went down to the streams of those of Xivanul and of
Chakihya, which are called at present San Gregorio and Santo
Thomas.

85. Tok xqui hach [c]a ahaua Huntoh Vukuba[c,] ri vuk ama[t] nimak achi xtzuku quichin heri Ah Popoya, Ah Panca[t], Ah Holom, Mixcu, Tamyac, ronohel Pokoma: Quere[c]a ta[t]ah, Ah Y[c,]iyule, Ah Xeabah, Ah Cak[c]uchabah, xa e cay chi ahaua xe[c]amo ronohel xa Huntoh, Vukuba[c,]: xepatanih vi vuk ama[t] nimak achij.

85. Then the rulers Huntoh and Vukubatz assigned to the chiefs of
the seven nations all their tributaries, that is to say, the people
of Popoya, Pancag, Holom, Mixco and Tamyac, all of whom were
Pokomams; as for those on the plains, the subjects of Itziyule,
Xeabah and Zakquchabah, the two rulers, Huntoh and Vukubatz,
reserved these for themselves. The seven nations and the chiefs
were subjected to a tribute. There were four rulers, but the two
named Chuluc and Xitamal Queh were not important. Soon afterwards
our ancestors were called _majesties_ by all those of the seven
nations, at the time that the city of Iximche was founded. Thus
disappeared the glory of the Quiches, said our fathers and
ancestors, O my children.

_Qui camibal ahaua vae._

_How the Rulers Died._

86. Ha [c]a nabey ahauh Huntoh xcam, ok xcam chic ahauh Vukuba[c,]. Ka mama ti[c]il chican tinamit ok xecam ahaua.

86. The first who died was the ruler Huntoh; then the ruler
Vukubatz died. Our ancestors had enlarged the city when they died.

87. Tok xahauar chi[c]a ahauh Lahuh Ah rubi, nabey ru[c]ahol ahauh Huntoh.

87. Then began to reign the ruler Lahuh Ah, first of the sons of
the ruler Huntoh.

88. Tok xahauar chi[c]a ri ahauh Oxlahuh [c,]ij rubi, nabey ru [c]ahol ahauh Vukuba[c,], he [c]a belehe chi achij xe ru [c]aholah ri ahauh ka mama Cibakihay; Ximox ru bi rixhayil ahauh Vukuba[c,].

88. At the same time reigned the ruler Oxlahuh Tzii, oldest son of
the king Vukubatz. These are the nine rulers begotten by our
ancestor, the chief Cibakihay:--Ximox was the name of the wife of
Vukubatz; Oxlahuh Tzii was her eldest son; the chief Cablahuh Batz
was the second; Chopena Tohin was the third; Chopena Tziquin Uqa
was the fourth. These last two ancestors perished in battle.
Chopena Tohin was slain at the place called Tukuru Cakixala, and
Panatacat was the spot where fell Chopena Tziquin Uqa. Chopena Queh
was the fifth; Nima Ahin was the sixth; Xavi Ahin was the name of
the seventh, and Caok and Qatu were the two others. All these
ancestors of ours were equally illustrious.

89. These kings, our ancestors, Oxlahuh tzii, and Lahuh ah, truly
they frightened by their bravery, they frightened by their
knowledge, for they had not forgotten the words of their fathers
and ancestors. The hearts of their subjects were calm when these
princes assumed the power, and they exerted authority and control.
They had made many and great wars when the king Lahuh ah died. Then
came the king named Cablahuh Tihax, oldest son of the king Lahuh
ah; but Oxlahuh tzii continued to reign, Cablahuh Tihax ruling
jointly with him. In truth, the glory of these rulers was not fully
established until after the death of Qikab, when the magician-ruler
of Quiche and the Quiches recommenced the war with the Cakchiquels.
At that time there ruled at Quiche Tepepul and Iztayul, and the
Quiches regarded with jealousy the city of Iximche. At that time
there occurred a great famine, brought about by great cold, which
had destroyed the harvests in the month Uchum, and the harvests
were lost through this cold. For this reason, say our ancestors,
the food was all consumed. A fugitive Cakchiquel informed the
Quiches of this, bringing to the Quiches the news of this famine:
and this man said: "Truly, it is a great famine, and the people
cannot suffer the pains of this hunger." So he said on arriving
among the Quiches. Therefore the death of the Cakchiquels was
decided on by the Quiches, and destruction was in their hearts.

90. Then took place the defeat at the town of Gumarcaah and the
humiliation of all the princes. They brought out their god Tohohil
and the people came in crowds; the multitude was innumerable; it
was not merely in battalions of eight thousand and sixteen thousand
men, but they came by villages and districts. They came in battle
array, with their bows, their armor and their weapons, their
brilliant plumes, their shining circlets, their head decorated with
crowns of gold and precious stones; this was the manner of their
coming.

91. It was on the day 10th Tzy that occurred the destruction of the
Quiches at Iximche; but the news of it had not yet reached our
ancestors, Oxlahu[TN-21] tzii and Cablahuh Tihax, when the Quiches
came to destroy the Zotzil Tukuches. A fugitive came bearing to the
chiefs the news that they were to be slain: "Day after to-morrow
they will slay you. All the Quiche nation will come to slay and
destroy the people of the city, which they will enter by force;
truly their entry will be terrible, for they are many more than
eight thousand or sixteen thousand men." Thus spoke this fugitive
when he arrived among the Cakchiquels. The chiefs immediately
assembled in council and said: "Listen! It is a good thing that we
are to measure ourselves against the Quiches." Thus spoke the
chiefs. Immediately they sent forth messengers. One division of the
people formed and went forth to meet the Quiches, and the
inhabitants alone went forth to battle. They went by the main road
to the summit of the mountain, burning everything on the way. They
met in conflict the battalions from Tibaqoy and Raxakan, and closed
the road to those of Galeah, of Pazaki uleuh and Ginoma.

92. Tok xucavuh [c]a ri achiha chi [c]haa, chi pocob, chi tooh xa[c,]elavachim chic ok xkaul.

92. Then all the men took up their bows, their shields and various
weapons, awaiting the arrival of the enemies.

93. When the dawn appeared, they (the Quiches) descended from the
hills, the cries and shouts of war broke forth, the banners were
displayed; then were heard the drums, the trumpets and the conches
of the combatants. Truly this descent of the Quiches was terrible.
They advanced rapidly in rank, and one might see afar off their
bands following one another, descending the mountain. They soon
reached the banks of the river, the houses by the water. They were
followed by the chiefs Tepepul and Iztayul, accompanying the god.
Then it was that the battalions met. Truly the encounter was
terrible. The cries and the shouts, the noise of the drums, the
trumpets and the conches resounded, mingled with the enchantments
of the heroes. The Quiches were routed in all directions, not one
fought, they were put to flight and delivered over to death, and no
one could count their slain. A great number of them were taken
prisoners, together with the kings Tepepul and Iztayul, who
delivered up their god. Thus the Galel-achi, the Ahpop-achi, the
grandson and son of the chief jeweler, the treasurer, the secretary
and the chief engraver and all the people were put to the sword.
The Quiches who were then killed by the Cakchiquels were not
counted by eight thousand or sixteen thousand; so said our fathers
and ancestors, O my children. Such were the deeds of the kings
Oxlahuh Tzy and Cablahuh Tihax, as also of Vooymox and Rokelbatzin.
Thus, and not otherwise, did they make glorious the city of
Iximche.

_The Death of the Chief Ychal_ (_Amolac, Lahuh Noh, and

94. Meanwhile the Akahals occupied the towns Holom, Guguhuyu and
Qaxqan, having for king Ychal Amollac. Messengers were sent to him
by the kings Oxlahuh tzii and Cablahuh Tikax, with the order that
he should come down, and they said: "Let the bravery of the king be
made manifest to our ancients, let us measure with him our bows and
our shields. The Quiches wished to try their arms against our
ravine and our city, and we have dealt with the Quiches. Let us now
try this one in war; let the king come and show his valor." Thus
did they say and sent this word to Ychal. The heart of the king was
soon resolved. "Let it be according to the desire of the
Ahpozotzils and Ahpoxahils. I will increase my strength and I will
go and show them all my valor. I will go alone; I will see what is
the place of the Cakchiquels; I will go down to make war with the
descendants of my grandfather." Thus spoke the king Ychal to the
messengers.

95. Cani [c]a xequicot ahaua tok xel pe ru tzihol ahauh Y[c]hal, cani xquipopoh quitzih ahaua chirih Y[c]hal: Utz mixpe cani ti ka chup ru vach maqui ti kelecah chic kivi [c]axto[c] chi Y[c]hal, xecha ahaua cani xhique ru camic cuma ka mama--Hunahpu [c,]ian, Nimacahay, Ahci[c]ahuh, [c]hooc Tacatic, [c,]imahi Piaculcan, Xumak Cham, xcak vachitah ruma ulamach puvaka, raponic xehuna cauh.

95. The chiefs rejoiced when the words of Ychal reached them, and
the chiefs took counsel in words against Ychal: "It is well that he
be hidden from the light, that we disobey not the Demon on account
of Ychal." Thus spoke the princes. Then his death was resolved upon
by our ancestors--Hunahpu Tzian, Nimazahay, Ahciqahuh, Qhooc
Tacatic, Tzimahi Piaculcan and Xumak Cham, who were envious of his
person on account of the riches that he had, and the height to
which he had raised his courage.

96. Then the king Ychal went forth, and a great number of
distinguished warriors went with the king. He was profound in
knowledge, and he left these words to his house: "Whether I return,
or whether I do not return, my death is at hand." The king
departed, saying these words. When it was known that the king was
on the road, the people came to carry him on their shoulders. When
he heard them he said: "Look to your walls; look to your lime and
your war paint; be prepared and your arms at hand, that you appear
not cast down before the Zotzil Tukuches." Thus he spoke to his
warriors, and they returned in midway to their houses and villages.
The chief came on the day 10th Noh.

97. His face was sorrowful as he entered the city of Iximche, where
they were consulting of his death. It had been decided upon by the
chiefs when he came. At his arrival he was called to the council,
but no sooner was he entered than he was slain, and his brave
companions with him. His cup bearer was seized as soon as he
entered, and was slain, as of the Akahal nation. Thus perished
Ychal Amolac at Iximche. These are the names of the warriors who
perished with him, all distinguished men: Zoroch, Hukahic,
Tameltoh, Huvurahbix, Vailgahol; thus they were called, these noble
men, who went forth to die with him. Thus it came that the city of
Holom was conquered, as also the towns of Qaxqan, Ralabalyq,
Guguhuyu and Vukucivan, where dwelt many people of the Akahal
nation. All the towns finished by yielding to the arms of the kings
Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax. Desiring to repeople Xerahapit, the
Akahal nation were transferred there, and there they bewailed their
dead.

98. At Paraxtunya, Belehe gih by name was chief. He had made an
alliance with the chief Voocaok, the Ahtziquinahay. Caoke was
inclined to war, and war was in his heart. Having built a
stronghold with ditches, Belehe gih desired the supreme power. The
kings Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax learning these preparations
for war, said: "Truly there is an evil mind in the chiefs
Ahtziquinahay and Belehe gih. They have turned war toward us, and
the chief Caoke has already in his heart assumed the supreme
power. Let us give them war." So said the chieftains, and from that
time the death of Caoke was resolved upon. Warriors set out to slay
him. But Caoke was brave, and, far from yielding, thirteen times he
descended from his town and for thirteen days endeavored to save
his life. Finally the town of Paraxtunya having been assaulted, it
was captured by our ancestors Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax, who
put to death all whom we have named.

_Tok xban [c]a yuhuh chi Yximche._

99. A question of land was the real cause of the struggle, when the
Akahals strove with the Tukuches, because the harvests of the
Akahals had been destroyed by the Tukuches. Those who beat the
persons injuring the harvests were seized at the point of Chiqib,
the place where this took place among those men of old.

100. The judges in this affair were the kings Cablahuh Tihax and
Oxlahuh tzy, for the Tukuches; and for the Akahals, the Tukuche
chief called Cay Hunahpu, the head chief Cavek, and the chiefs
Qiriayu and Toxqomnoh. One could see in Cay Hunahpu the demeanor of
supreme power, and he had many vassals; but the Ahpopzotzils and
the Ahpopxahils refused to deliver up to him the Akahals to be
slain. For already in his heart Cay Hunahpu had resolved to destroy
the Akahals. For this reason there was a revolt against Cablahuh
Tihax and Oxlahuh tzy, by the instigation of Cay Hunahpu; for this
chief disliked the Ahpopzotzil and the Ahpopxahil, and would have
liked to rule alone. Thus the revolt spread among the chiefs. The
chief Cay Hunahpu desired the revolt; for this chief Cay Hunahpu
had resolved in his heart the revolt, and he could not be satisfied
until he had forced the kings Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax to
humble themselves that he might become great. Then these princes
did humble themselves, that there should not be a conflict between
their people, and they grieved deeply. Thus did Cay Hunahpu
frighten these two kings; but he could not be satisfied without
using violence.

101. Tok x[c]hique [c]a [t]ih xbanvi yuhuh ruma ahauh Cay Hunahpu, ha chi hulahuh Ah xban yuhuh: tok xuhuruh [c]a el rij Tukuchee pa tinamit [c]haka ya xbe ti [c]e vi el ronohel [c]a rachihilal Tukuchee, xoquiben tinamit; maqui [c]a xcaho rachihilal ahauh Cablahuh Tihax Oxlahuh [c,]ij; xa hu [c]hob achiha xcha[t]obem quitzih ahaua ah Xechipeken, rahpop achi Cinahitoh ru bi achi tan tachihir chiri Xechipeken.

101. The day of the revolt was appointed by this chief, Cay
Hunahpu, and on this day, 11th Ah, the revolt broke out. Then the
Tukuches were drawn out of the city, to the other side of the
river, and all the Tukuche warriors went there also, that they
might enter the city; but the warriors of the kings Cablahuh Tihax
and Oxlahuh tzy opposed them. One division of warriors was enough
to drive them off, encouraged by the words of the kings, a division
from Xechipeken; and these of Xechipeken, with their ruler the
counselor Cinahitoh, distinguished themselves by their bravery.

102. When the dawn appeared on the day 11th Ah, the Tukuches began
on the opposite side from the city, and the drums and trumpets of
the chief Cay Hunahpu were heard. Then the warriors armed, and
displayed their brilliant feathers and shining banners, and gold
and precious stones. Then it began on the other side of the river,
and truly it was terrible for the number of the Tukuches, who could
not be counted by eight thousands nor by sixteen thousands. The
battle began before the city, at the end of the bridge where
Chucuybatzin, placed at the head of the struggle by the Tukuches,
had brought the fighting. There were four women who had armed
themselves with lances and bows, and taken part in the battle,
fully equal to four young men. The arrows launched by these
heroines struck the very mat of Chucuybatzin. Truly it was a
terrible revolt which the chiefs made of old. The chiefs of the
battle afterwards set up the images of these women before the
buildings of the Zotzils and the Xahils, whence these women had
gone forth. As they departed, there suddenly appeared a division
in the high road near the deep trenches. It rapidly scattered the
warriors of Tibaqoy and Raxakan on the high road. Only two of the
men fell in this encounter, and he who led them beyond the city to
prolong the combat was the same who had gained the previous
victory, the counselor Cinahitoh of Xechipeken.

103. Tok xpe [c]a ramonel chirih Tukuchee, cani [c]a xucahmah mani chic x[c]ulelaan canih xpaxin rij, xyaar achiha, xyaar yxok aqual chi camic, xuyari ahauh Cay Hunahpu, xuya [c]a ri ahauh [c,]iriniyu, Tox[c]om Noh, ronohel [c]a ru mam ahauh ru [c]ahol ahauh.

103. Then began a general attack on the Tukuches; they were cut to
pieces at once; no one resisted; the rout was complete; men, women
and children were given up to slaughter. The chief Cay Hunahpu was
slain; the chiefs Tziriniyu and Toxqom Noh all perished, as well as
their fathers and children. Immediately those of Tibaqoy and
Raxakan retired, partly to Quiche, partly among the Tzutuhils. They
mingled with their subjects and were thus dispersed. Such was the
destruction of the Tukuches, in old times, O my children. It was
our ancestors Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax who, on the day 11th
Ah, undertook and accomplished the dispersion of the Tukuches.

104. Thirty-one days after the revolt, as the Quiches desired to
destroy those of Tibaqoy, these Tukuches removed to Chiavar and put
to death the Quiches, who yielded in a battle at a place named
Yaxontzui, on the day 9th Caok.

105. On the 36th day after the revolt Cinahitoh perished, because
he coveted the position of the orator Ahmoxnay. Cinahitoh wished to
exercise the power alone, above the chieftains, therefore Cinahitoh
was condemned by all the chiefs, and his death was carried into
effect in the city on the day 11th Can.

107. It was not much less than two years after the defeat of the
Tukuches, when the Tzutuhils were defeated at Zakcab on the day 1st
Ahmak. The Tzutuhils were cut to pieces and their rulers Nahtihay

not be conquered, and he tried his fortune against the Cakchiquels.

109. During the fifth year those of Mixco were put to death; being
tributaries of the king Cablahuh Tihax, they wished to make
themselves independent. On the day 7 Camay, the town of Mixco was
taken and its inhabitants slain by the chiefs.

110. At the same time were put to death the Yaquis of Xivico,
because they had taken part with the king Vookaok, Chief of the
Akahals, this nation of the Akahals having begun to lift itself
before the town, desiring to obtain power.

111. Va[t]ih ok [c]atel Voo rubanic yuhuh ok xcam chic Akahal vinak chuvach huyu, xaxrah [t]a[t]ar chic ahauh chu vach huyu.

111. Six days were wanting to complete five years from the revolt

113. Twelve days were lacking to complete the tenth year after the
revolt when the Cakchiquels put on their shields on account of the

114. On the day 13 Tziquin died the princess Vooqueh who had
married Lahuh Tihax, son of Qikab. Little was lacking to complete
the fourteenth year after the Revolt when the king our ancestor
Oxlahuh tzy also died. He died on the day 13 Ahmak. Truly this king
had made himself feared by his power; never was his power or his
grandeur diminished; he undertook many wars and conquered many
cities. These are the children he begat:--
