| 18013 | 23, 24 and 25( perhaps this is a black variant of B as god of the storm?) |
| 39914 | To remonstrances made by those who wish to dissuade them in view of such conditions, they will reply,"Why should I care? |

| 43491 | 8(?) |
| 43491 | 9? |
| 43491 | Are the Maya hieroglyphs phonetic? |
| 43491 | As recorded in A3-B4 this number reads 10.2.5.0.?. |
| 43491 | Assembling the four periods present, we have 9.4.10.0.?. |
| 43491 | But which of the many Tun 13s in the Long Count was the one that ended on this particular date? |
| 43491 | Can this be a matter of chance? |
| 43491 | Does this date represent, therefore, the contemporaneous time of Zoömorph G, the time at which it was erected, or at least dedicated? |
| 43491 | Excepting the kin coefficient in A4, the number is quite easily read as 9.12.8.14.? |
| 43491 | Here the question arises, At what point in this series of numbers does the present lie? |
| 43491 | However, adding the first black number, 34, to this day? |
| 43491 | If neither the phonetic nor the ideographic character of the glyphs can be wholly admitted, what then is the true nature of the Maya writing? |
| 43491 | If not 19, what then was the coefficient the ancient scribe should have engraved in its place? |
| 43491 | If not, what effect can A2, A3, and A4 have on the Initial- series date in A1, A5-A9? |
| 43491 | In short, how were numbers so large expressed by the foregoing twenty( 0 to 19, inclusive) characters? |
| 43491 | It is composed of the trinal superfix and a conventionalized fish(?). |
| 43491 | Just how extensively do phonetic elements enter into the composition of the Maya glyphs? |
| 43491 | The all- important question of course is, What position did the date 9 Kan 12 Kayab occupy in the Long Count? |
| 43491 | The glyphs to which these coefficients belonged were missing, but the coincidence of the two numbers 12(?) |
| 43491 | The introducing glyph(?) |
| 43491 | The introducing glyph(?) |
| 43491 | The next question is, Did they record the lapse of more than 3,000 years simply by using so unwieldy a unit as the 52-year period or its multiples? |
| 43491 | The next question is, How is this glyph in the sixth place formed? |
| 43491 | The number will read, therefore,?.19.13.4.0. |
| 43491 | The question at once arises, Has the number recorded here anything to do with the Initial Series, which precedes it at the beginning of this text? |
| 43491 | The question at once arises, can the two flanking parts be merely ornamental and the whole element stand for the number 1? |
| 43491 | We may now read this Initial Series as 10.2.9.1.? |
| 43491 | What can be the explanation of this element, and indeed of the whole glyph? |
| 43491 | What is the meaning then of this text, which records two dates nearly 300 years apart? |
| 43491 | What matter a few score years one way or the other in this virtual eternity? |

| 43519 | 2 and 5 seem to signify a carpet or other fabric( or a lying- in bed? |
| 43519 | 20b is the sign of the death- god A, probably not placed accidentally here at the end of the month Xul, which denotes the end; but the end of what? |

| 43519 | Can 16 be the sign of the twelfth month, Ceh, combined with that for 7200? |
| 43519 | Can it be an accident that on the next page( page 49) the fourth Venus revolution is reached, for 4 × 584= 2336,_ i.e._, almost 2340? |

| 43519 | His hands are much deformed; perhaps indicating the bite of a serpent? |
| 43519 | I am forced to pass over the second entirely, inasmuch as a red 6 inserted in it remains a mystery( 6 × 18,980= 113,880?). |
| 43519 | I do not know how to explain 1, unless it is the bat- god; 3 is a Xul= end( but of what?) |
| 43519 | In 1 and 3 his head is again surrounded by those dots suggesting stars, in 4 there seems to be a bird( quetzal?) |
