(4) There they increased, there they installed their splendid thrones and royal seats, and they distributed their honors among all the lords. The nine lords of Cavec formed nine families; the lords of Nihaib formed another nine; the lords of Ahau-Quiché formed another four; and the lords of Zaquic formed another two families. They became very numerous, and many also followed each of the lords; these were the first among their vassals, and each of the lords had large families.

(4) Iztayul, seventh generation of kings. Cotuhá [II], eighth order of the kingdom. Beleheb-Queh [II], ninth order. Quemá, so called, tenth generation. Ahau-Cotuhá, eleventh generation. Don Cristóval, so called, who ruled in the time of the Spaniards. Don Pedro de Robles, the present Ahau-Galel. These, then, are all the kings who descended from the Ahau-Galel. Now we shall name the lords of each of the Great Houses. Ahau-Galel, first lord of the Nihaib, head of one Great House. Ahau-Ahtzic-Vinac, one Great House. Ahau-Galel-Camhá, one Great House. Nima-Camhá, one Great House. Uchuch-Camhá, one Great House. Nim-Chocoh-Nihaib, one Great House. Ahau-Avilix, one Great House. Yacolatam, one Great House. Nima-Lolmet-Ycoltux, one Great House. These, then, are the Great Houses of the Nihaib; these were the names of the nine families of those of Nihaib, as they were called. Numerous were the families of each one of the lords, whose names we have given first. Here, now, is the lineage of those of Ahau-Quiché, who were their grandfather and father. Mahucutah, the first man. Qoahau, name of the second generation of kings. These were the kings of those of the Ahau-Quiché; this is the order of their generations.

These, then, were the lords of Cavec, nine lords, each one of which had his great house, which afterward will appear again. Here then are the lords of Nihaib. The first was Ahau-Galel, then Ahau-Ahtzic-Vinac, GalelCamhá, Nima-Camhá, Uchuch-Camhá, Nim-Chocoh-Nihaibab, Avilix, Yacolatam, Utzampop-Zalclatol, and Nimá-Lolmet-Ycoltux, the nine lords of Nihaib. And as for those of Ahau-Quiché, these are the names of the lords: Ahtzic-Vinac, AhauLolmet, Ahau-Nim-Chocoh-Ahau, and Ahau-Hacavitz, four lords of Ahau-Quiché, in the order of their great houses. And the house of Zaquic had two families, the Lords Tzutuhá and Galel Zaquic. These two lords had only one great house.

(3) And now we shall name again the families. These are the Great Houses of each of the lords who followed the Ahpop and the Ahpop-Camhá. These are the names of the nine families of those of Cavec, of the nine Great Houses, and these are the titles of the lords of each one of the Great Houses: Ahau-Ahpop, one Great House. Cuhá was the name of this Great House. Ahau-Ahpop-Camhá, whose Great House was called Tziquinahá. Nim-Chocoh-Cavec, one Great House. Ahau-Ah-Tohil, one Great House. Ahau-Ah-Gucumatz, one Great House. Popol-Vinac Chituy, one Great House. Lolmet-Quehnay, one Great House. Popol-Vinac Pahom Tzalatz Xcuxebá, one Great House. Tepeu-Yaqui, one Great House. These, then, are the nine families of Cavec. And very numerous were the sons and vassals of the tribes which followed these nine Great Houses. Here are the nine Great Houses of those of Nihaib. But first we shall give the lineage of the rulers of the kingdom. From one root only these names originated when the sun began to shine, with the beginning of light. Balam-Acab, first grandfather and father. Qoacul and Qoacutec, second generation. Cochahuh and Cotzibahá, third generation. Beleheb-Queh [I], fourth generation. Cotuhá, [I] fifth generation of kings.
