FOOTNOTES:
[1] It should be noted that the grand cycle, which Dr Brinton refers to, is the period of 13 × 7200 days = 93,600 days or 260 periods of 360 days; while the grand cycle according to Goodman's method is 13 × 144,000 days or 5200 periods of 360 days.

[3] It is necessary to remember that, by Goodman's methods, these figures represent periods of past time. Thus the number 2 of the katun means that 2 katuns have passed, and that the current katun is what we should call the third; and that 0.0 means that a full count of uinals and kins has occurred and that the current uinal and kin are what we should call the first.

In general every effort has been made to replicate the original text as faithfully as possible, including some instances of inconsistencies of spelling (Ahpula/Ahpulha; Ymix/Imix) and possible irregularities in the use of commas and periods in Mayan dates.
