[2] An interpretation of the Maya legend explanatory of the illustration may not be amiss, inasmuch as it shows that the serpent was the symbol of the country. Beginning at the top of the column, it reads as follows:
[Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] _Ahau_ _Eb_ _Kan_ _cib_ _Lamat_ _A-ha-u_ _Heb_ _Kanaan_ _cib_ _Lam-a-ti_ that is literally: He-water-Basin turn abundant fluid submerge the land.
_The Master of the basin of water turns it: abundant fluid submerges the land._
A glance at the illustration will suffice to show that the interpretation is correct. In my work "The Monuments of Mayax," etc., I give a more complete explanation of it.
The legend reads commencing from the top of the left hand column—
[Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] _Can_ _Ahau_ _Cimen_ _eb_ for _heb_ _Ezanab_ _Kan_ the King dead forcing its earthquake has risen master of the basin way of water
(beginning again at the top of the second column) [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] [Symbol] _Can_ _oc_ _cib_ _ik_ _lamat_ _ix_ foot sank air—wind filled up crater—or bosom of the volcanoes
