85. Then the rulers Huntoh and Vukubatz assigned to the chiefs of
the seven nations all their tributaries, that is to say, the people
of Popoya, Pancag, Holom, Mixco and Tamyac, all of whom were
Pokomams; as for those on the plains, the subjects of Itziyule,
Xeabah and Zakquchabah, the two rulers, Huntoh and Vukubatz,
reserved these for themselves. The seven nations and the chiefs
were subjected to a tribute. There were four rulers, but the two
named Chuluc and Xitamal Queh were not important. Soon afterwards
our ancestors were called _majesties_ by all those of the seven
nations, at the time that the city of Iximche was founded. Thus
disappeared the glory of the Quiches, said our fathers and
ancestors, O my children.

86. The first who died was the ruler Huntoh; then the ruler
Vukubatz died. Our ancestors had enlarged the city when they died.
87. Tok xahauar chi[c]a ahauh Lahuh Ah rubi, nabey ru[c]ahol ahauh

88. At the same time reigned the ruler Oxlahuh Tzii, oldest son of
the king Vukubatz. These are the nine rulers begotten by our
ancestor, the chief Cibakihay:--Ximox was the name of the wife of
Vukubatz; Oxlahuh Tzii was her eldest son; the chief Cablahuh Batz
was the second; Chopena Tohin was the third; Chopena Tziquin Uqa
