with him, all distinguished men: Zoroch, Hukahic,
Tameltoh, Huvurahbix, Vailgahol; thus they were called, these noble
men, who went forth to die with him. Thus it came that the city of
Holom was conquered, as also the towns of Qaxqan, Ralabalyq,
Guguhuyu and Vukucivan, where dwelt many people of the Akahal
nation. All the towns finished by yielding to the arms of the kings
Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax. Desiring to repeople Xerahapit, the
Akahal nation were transferred there, and there they bewailed their
dead.

98. At Paraxtunya, Belehe gih by name was chief. He had made an
alliance with the chief Voocaok, the Ahtziquinahay. Caoke was
inclined to war, and war was in his heart. Having built a
stronghold with ditches, Belehe gih desired the supreme power. The
kings Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax learning these preparations
for war, said: "Truly there is an evil mind in the chiefs
Ahtziquinahay and Belehe gih. They have turned war toward us, and
the chief Caoke has already in his heart assumed the supreme
power. Let us give them war." So said the chieftains, and from that
time the death of Caoke was resolved upon. Warriors set out to slay
him. But Caoke was brave, and, far from yielding, thirteen times he
descended from his town and for thirteen days endeavored to save
his life. Finally the town of Paraxtunya having been assaulted, it
was captured by our ancestors Oxlahuh tzy and Cablahuh Tihax, who
put to death all whom we have named.
