[183] From this point on this step will be omitted, but the student is urged to perform the calculations necessary in each case to reach the terminal dates recorded.
[184] Since the introducing glyph always accompanies an Initial Series, it has here been included as a part of it, though, as has been explained elsewhere, its function is unknown.
[185] The number 15.1.16.5 is equal to 108,685 days, or 297½ years.
[186] It is interesting to note in this connection that the date 9.16.1.0.0 11 Ahau 8 Tzec, which is within 9 days of 9.16.1.0.9 7 Muluc 17 Tzec, is recorded in four different inscriptions at Yaxchilan, one of which (see pl. [9], A) has already been figured.
[187] For the full text of this inscription see Maler, 1901: II, No. 1, pl. 12.
[188] The month-sign indicator appears in B2 with a coefficient 10.
[189] Not expressed.
[190] The writer has recently established the date of this monument as 9.13.15.0.0 13 Ahau 18 Pax, or 99 days later than the above date.
[191] For the full text of this inscription, see Maudslay, 1889-1902: II, pls. 47-49.
[192] Although the details of the day and month signs are somewhat effaced, the coefficient in each case is 3, agreeing with the coefficients in the Initial-series terminal date, and the outline of the month glyph suggests that it is probably Yax. See fig. [19], q, r.
