Be this as it may, it is certain that the first numeral series in the middle space of the latter tablet--537 days--measures exactly the lapse of time from 9 Akbal 6 Xul to 13 Ahau 18 Kankin of the Sun Tablet; and that 2,386 days, the second series in the middle space of the Tablet of the Cross, is exactly the time from 8 Oc 3 Kayab (middle space) to 2 Cib 14 Mol, second dute on the right slab of the Tablet of the Sun. This result, however, would seem to be contrary to the evidence adduced of the direct connection between the inscriptions of the left and right slabs; nevertheless it is a remarkable coincidence which depends on some fact in regard to the series not yet ascertained. Possibly these form a separate succession of series. I have been unable to find any connection between either of the dates of the right slab which precede the first numeral series and any one which follows. This series in reverse order is 3 days, 12 chuens (glyph P16), 6 ahaus (Ql), and 7 katuns (III), equal 52,803 days, or, after subtracting 2 calendar rounds, 14,843 days. Using the latter and counting forward from 12 Ahau (Q2) 8 Cch (R2), year 6 Ben, we reach!) Akbal (Q6) 6 Xul (116), year 8 Ezanab. Here also both dates follow the numeral series. Following the last-mentioned date, at Ql1, RH is the numeral series 18 days, 2 chuens, 6 ahaus, or 2,218 days. This is followed at QliJ 1112 by the date 2 Cimi 19 Zotz (year 2 Lamat), which is followed at Q14,1114 by the numeral series 12 days, 8 chuens, 1 ahau (left portion of 1114), and this is followed at 1114 (right portion) and Q15 by the date 13 Ahau 18 Kankin. It will be observed that two of these dates are the same as the first and second dates of the middle space. It seems from the reckonings...
