Following along the text, the next Secondary-series number appears in D4-C5a and consists of 10 kins,[[222]] 11 uinals, 1 tun, and 1 katun; that

is, 1.1.11.10. Reducing this number to units of the first order and counting it forward from the date next preceding it in the text, that is, 1 Cib 14 Kankin in C2b D2a, the new terminal date reached will be 4 Cimi 14 Uo, which the student will find recorded in D5-C6. Compare the day sign in D5 with figure [16], h, i, and the month sign in C6 with figure [19], b, c. The Initial-series value of this new date may be calculated from the known Initial-series value of the preceding date:

9.12.14.10.16 1 Cib 14 Kankin
1. 1.11.10
9.13.16. 4. 6 4 Cimi 14 Uo

The third Secondary Series appears in E1 and consists of 15 kins,[[223]] 8 uinals, and 3 tuns, or 3.8.15. Reducing this number to units of the first order and counting it forward from the date next preceding it in the text, 4 Cimi 14 Uo, in D5-C6, the new terminal date reached will be 11 Imix 14 Yax, which the student will find recorded in E2 F2. The day sign in E2 appears, as is very unusual, as a head variant of which only the headdress seems to show the essential element of the day sign Imix. Compare E2 with figure [16], a, b, also the month sign in F2 with figure [19], q, r. The Initial Series of this new terminal date may be calculated as above:

9.13.16. 4. 6 04 Cimi 14 Uo
3. 8.15
9.13.19.13. 1 11 Imix 14 Yax

The fourth and last Secondary Series in this text follows in F6 and consists of 19 kins and 4 uinals, that is, 4.19. Reducing this number to units of the first order and counting it forward from the date next preceding it in the text, 11 Imix 14 Yax in E2 F2, the new terminal date reached will be 6 Ahau 13 Muan, which the student will find recorded in F7-F8. Compare the month sign in F8 with figure [19], a' b'. But the glyph following this date in F9 is very clearly an ending sign; note the hand, tassel-like postfix, and subfixial element showing the curl infix, all of which are characteristic ending elements (see figs. [37], l-q, and [54]). Moreover, in F10 is recorded "the end of Katun 14." Compare the ending prefix in this glyph with figure [37], a-h. This would seem to indicate that the date in F7-F8, 6 Ahau 13 Muan, closed Katun 14 of Cycle 9 of the Long Count. Whether this be true or not may be tested by finding the Initial-series value corresponding to 6 Ahau 13 Muan, as above:

9.13.19.13. 1 11 Imix 14 Yax
4.19
9.14. 0. 0. 0 06 Ahau 13 Muan
