ees." So spoke they on arriving. Thus said Gagavitz and Zactecauh
to their companions: "Let us take up our arms if we are to fight."
Immediately all took up their bows and shields, and thus arrayed
showed themselves to the Pokomams. At once terror struck the
Pokomams, and ours rushed forth to seize them in their disorder.

27. Then they encountered the two, Loch and Xet by name; they
encountered them there at the foot of the mountains Cucu and
Tzunun. These said when they were encountered, "Do not kill us, O
thou our lord; we will be the servants of your throne, of your
power." So they said, and entered at once as vassals, each one
carrying the bows and drums. Going on, a return was made, and they
were hindered by some calabash vines, and were ensnared and
scattered. Therefore, that place was called Tzaktzuy, and the
Ahquehay took it as their sign, that is, those first fathers and
ancestors who brought forth the Ahquehay. This is why they took it,
it is said, and such is the name of the place. They chose a portion
of the tribe, oh you my children, and truly thus it was that our
first fathers and ancestors brought us forth and gave us
existence--us, the Cakchiquel people.
