162. Three hundred days after Chiixot was taken, began the payment
of tribute to the Captain by Chinta Queh. It was here at Tzolola,
on the day 6 Tzi, that the tribute began. At that time was born my
son. Diego Pabo Cotanoh. Thou wert born, O my son, on that day, 6
Tzi, on which the tribute began. Deep, indeed, were the sufferings
we underwent to escape from the wars, and twice we were on the
point of losing our life.

164. In the course of this year the chiefs Ahpopzotzil and
Ahpopxahil came before Tunatiuh. For eighty-six days these chiefs
