44. Then also they began to adore the Demon. On each seventh and
thirteenth day an offering was made to him of fresh resin, and
freshly gathered green branches and new bark; and also of a cat,
the image of night, which were burned before him. To these were
added thorns of the gourd tree with which they drew blood from
their ears. They had not yet began the worship of the great idol of
the ancient Chay Abah. It is said that the worship of the Demon
increased with the face of our prosperity. Afterwards the principal
idols were set up, as said of yore our father and ancestor
Gagavitz, at the time they approached Pantzic, Paraxone, Cinahihay,
Pacibaqul, Pacavek and Quehil.

45. At that time some of the natives of the places called Cupilcat
and Canalakam, offered combat when they (the Cak.) had arrived
before their city. Withdrawing from before the city (our men)
entered a very dense woods where those of Cupilcat were destroyed.
Others arrived at the spot to continue the battle, and some calling
to others, they entered the dense woods, before their city, and
then these men of Cupilcat and Canalakam were destroyed by our
ancestor. There the family of Baqahol began its fame, and the name
of the place became celebrated. Cimahihay and Motzoray, the only
two said to have survived, abandoned the place; and another from
Cupilcat came to Quiche and there met his death.
