Turning to Goodmans Archaic Chronological Calendar, to the 9thcycle of his 54th great cycle, in which the series of this inscriptionare located, we find that 13 Ahau 18 Cumhu is the first day of the 17thkatun according to his method of numbering. However, it must beremembered that he begins the count of katuns with 20, followingwith 1, 2, etc., up to 19; therefore 13 Ahau 18 Cumhu is really thefirst daj of the 18th katun, 17 entire katuns having lieen passed overfrom the initial date of the inscription (8 Ahau 13 Ceh, the first day ofthe 9th cycle). This verifies our eoneltision as to the signification ofthe symbol for 17 katuns in glyph Fig. 155. Part of inscription on the west side of Stela E,Quirigua. Maudslay, part 12. plate xxxi.
