Now, which were the other four deities? Signs 8, 12, 20 refer to A, H and C. 16 is the laterally elongated head q, to which Seler is inclined to refer the day Men, and Schellhas an undetermined deity I. On account of its frequency this sign must have besides a more general significance. In addition, however, we have in 14 and 18 the signs of F and B. 6 is uncertain, 10 is probably C, and the top row is entirely illegible. If to these deities is added the D repeated five times in the third row, it will be seen that all the important gods are grouped together here on the last page of this section.
Pages 16b—17b.
I will now attempt (for it cannot be more than an attempt) to separate into three parts, according to their contents, the middle and lowest thirds of pages 16 to 23. The first part, 16b to 18b and 16c to 20c, contains six Tonalamatls with pictures of women, each of whom carries on her back the figure or symbol of a deity. This deity can hardly be any other than the one to which the horoscope of the child especially refers.
The first of these Tonalamatls, on pages 16b-17b, runs as follows:—
| Muluc | 13 | 4 | 35 (or 20 | 15) |
| Imix | ||||
| Ben | ||||
| Chicchan | ||||
| Caban. | ||||
The red numerals are wanting and were probably forgotten.
The hieroglyphs stand thus:—
| 1 | 2 | 5 | 6 | 9 | 13 | |
| 3 | 4 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 14 | |
| 11 | 15 | |||||
| 12 | 16 | . | ||||
Of these 3, 7, 11 and 15 are the sign for women, 2, 6, 10 and 14 are likewise all the same sign, which is repeated in the same places on pages 17c to 18c. I do not understand its meaning; it may have reference merely to the carrying-frame. Instead of the four women, whom we should expect to find here, only the first two are portrayed. The first carries B, whose sign is the first hieroglyph, while the fourth hieroglyph is the sign q.
