The transition, as it were, from the series to the large numbers is formed
by a few groups of hieroglyphs.
The first of these groups is at the top of pages 69-70; its first top line
is completely effaced. The remainder I will designate by the following
numbers:--
1 2 5 6 9 13
3 4 7 8 10 14
11 15
12 16.
The date IX Kan 12 Kayab, set down under 3 and 4 does not belong there but
to the serpent below and will be discussed later.
I take sign 1 to be that of a Bacab, 2 I do not understand and it is half
obliterated; it seems to occur again on page 73 in the column to the
extreme right. 3 and 7 are the elongated head _q_ with an unusual superfix,
4 and 8 correspond with one another, but I cannot explain them. 5, 10 and
14 denote the beginning, 6, 11 and 15, the end. 9 and 13 both designate the
8th day of the month Kayab and over them IV Ahau must have been set down
twice. 12 and 16 are two heads of gods, 12 is probably D's with the sign
for west and 16, B's with that of the east.
On page 70, in the middle of the third and fourth columns, the day IX Ix
occurs twice. In one case it ought to have been IV Eb and the scribe has
really changed the IX to IV, but he omitted changing the Ix to Eb. Directly
below these dates we find the second group, consisting of two rows of four
hieroglyphs.
