The Manuscript offers material with which to work, beginning on page 70:—
| 1,394,120 | 1,437,020 | 1,567,332 | 1,520,654 | |
| (606) | (1646) | IV Eb | IX Ix | |
| IV Ahau | IV Ahau | VIII Ahau; 13 Yaxkin (7 Muluc). | ||
| 8 Cumhu | 8 Cumhu | |||
| IX Ix | IV Eb | |||
| 1,201,200 | 1,202,240 | 111,554 | 101,812 | |
| (86) | (208) | |||
| IV Ahau | IV Ahau | |||
| 8 Cumhu | 8 Cumhu | |||
This is followed at the right top of page 73 by
| 83,474 | 34,732 |
| IX Ix | IV Eb. |
Two of the numbers and two of the dates are conjectural:—
I read the 1,202,240 as 8. 6. 19. 10. 0. while the Manuscript has 16 instead of 6. I read the 101,812 as 14. 2. 14. 12. the Manuscript has 16 instead of the second 14. And in two places in the third column of page 70, I have restored the day IV Eb, where the Manuscript incorrectly repeats the IX Ix, and does the same thing on page 73.
Let us now first consider the construction of those large numbers, which are connected with the day IX Ix and thus with the 54-series. These numbers are the two upper ones of columns 1 and 2 and the lower one of column 1 on page 70.
174 is the starting-point, the number of the day is IX Ix, which seems to have been chosen because it divides the Tonalamatl approximately in the proportion of 2 to 1. (IV Ahau - IX Ix = 174.)
The 5359th, 5520th and 4619th multiples of 260 have been added to 174; why precisely these multiples were chosen
remains a mystery. In this way were obtained the following numbers, which the Manuscript suppresses. I will give them with their corresponding dates:—
