Let us now turn to the numbers, which form the bottom of my transcription, but only the left hand lower corner in the Manuscript. Here, in the latter, we find the following (with the correction already mentioned of the second to the third month):—
| 2200 | 1,366,560 | 1,364,360 |
| IV Ahau | I Ahau | I Ahau |
| 8 Cumhu | 18 Kayab | 18 Zip. |
The first thing to be done is to arrange and fill out these numbers to suit our purpose.
The 2200 is clearly nothing more than the difference between the two high numbers. We can therefore dispense with it.
Further, we find by the usual computation, that the second number belongs to the first date and the third to the second. Hence the number corresponding to the third date is wanting from lack of space. This number can be calculated from that date; it is 1,352,400. It would suit this date equally well if the number were higher or lower by 18,980 or a multiple of 18,980; but it will be seen directly that it agrees with the other two numbers only at the value given above.
Now, if we add to this passage the years in which the dates must lie, they are in the case of the date on the left, the year 9 Ix, in the case of the middle date, the year 3 Kan, and of that on the right hand, the year 10 Kan.
Then if we arrange the three numbers with the dates and years belonging to them, according to the value of the first, this part of the page will run as follows:—
| 1,352,400 | 1,364,360 | 1,366,560 |
| I Ahau | I Ahau | IV Ahau |
| 18 Zip | 18 Kayab | 8 Cumhu |
| 10 Kan | 3 Kan | 9 Ix. |
Let us now consider the properties of the three numbers individually.
