The last three parts of this section of the manuscript all differ appreciably from the usual form (5 × 52 = 260 days).

Page 9c.

Here for the first time the manuscript contains a Tonalamatl, which is divided into 10 × 26 days. It is true the position of both the days and numbers is quite irregular. The manuscript presents the following order:—

III III VI VIII
3 2
Cauac Ben XI II
Chuen Chicchan 3 4
Akbal Caban VI VII
Men Muluc 4 1
Manik Imix. I III
7 2

I read it thus:—

III 3 VI 2 VIII 3 XI 4 II 4 VI 1 VII 7 I 2 III
Cauac
Chicchan
Chuen
Caban
Akbal
Muluc
Men
Imix
Manik
Ben.

Two figures and eight hieroglyphs are given here. I do not venture to decide whether each of the two figures with its hieroglyphs relates only to a period of 26 days or to the half of the whole, 130 days. I think the latter is more likely to be the case. The sign Imix-Kan, which I am inclined to refer to a sacrificial meal, is common to both groups and connects them. The two gods seem also to have a sign pertaining to a meal in their hands; this may be a cup.

The first deity is D or I, but with a female breast and with a serpent on his head. His signs are 2 and 3. The second god is A with a snail on his head and his signs are 6 and 7.

In addition to these, sign 4 of the first group is v and sign 8 of the second group is c.
