[213] See Maudslay, op. cit., pl. 81, glyphs C7-D8.
[214] It will be remembered that Uayeb was the name for the xma kaba kin, the 5 closing days of the year. Dates which fall in this period are exceedingly rare, and in the inscriptions, so far as the writer knows, have been found only at Palenque and Tikal.
[215] See Maudslay, 1889-1902: IV, pl. 77, glyphs P14-R2. Glyphs Q15-P17 are omitted from pl. [22], G, as they appear to be uncalendrical.
[216] See Maudslay, 1889-1902: I, pl. 100, glyphs C1 D1, A2.
[217] This excludes Stela C, which has two Initial Series (see figs. [68] and [77]), though neither of them, as explained on p. [175], footnote 1, records the date of this monument. The true date of this monument is declared by the Period-ending date figured in pl. [21], H, which is 9.17.0.0.0 6 Ahau 13 Kayab. (See p. [226].)
[218] See Maudslay, 1889-1902: II, pl. 44, west side, glyphs G4 H4, F5.
[219] The dates 10.2.5.0.0 9 Ahau 18 Yax and 10.2.10.0.0 2 Ahau 13 Chen on Stelæ 1 and 2, respectively, at Quen Santo, are purposely excluded from this statement. Quen Santo is in the highlands of Guatemala (see pl. [1]) and is well to the south of the Usamacintla region. It rose to prominence probably after the collapse of the great southern cities and is to be considered as inaugurating a new order of things, if not indeed a new civilization.
[220] See Maler, 1908 a: IV, No. 1, pl. 9, glyphs E2, F2, A3, and A4.
[221] The student will note that the lower periods (the tun, uinal, and kin signs) are omitted and consequently are to be considered as having the coefficient 0.
[222] The usual positions of the uinal and kin coefficients in D4a are reversed, the kin coefficient 10 standing above the uinal sign instead of at the left of it. The calculations show, however, that 10, not 11, is the kin coefficient.
