83. Then the king sent his messenger to announce to the rulers that
the Quiches had resolved on the death of the Zotzil Tukuches. At
the same time he sent to the rulers that they should come during
the night, and the king Qikab spoke in these terms to the rulers
Huntoh and Vukubatz: "It is neither the beginning nor the end of
this war made against us, O my children. It has been seen what they
have done to me. They have robbed me of my slaves, my family, my
treasures, my precious metals. They wish to do the same with you.
Go forth, therefore, my children, my younger brothers, my elder
brothers." Then he gave his orders: "The lot is cast. Cease at once
from the exercise of a power which you should share with me.
Abandon this city to the revolted populace. Let your words no more
be heard, my children. Go to where you can establish yourselves, to
Iximche, on the Ratzamut. Build there houses and a city, and
construct a road on which all the people may pass and rest. Abandon
Chiavar. As for you, people, if you succeed, may my words come to
you as a curse." Thus spoke the king Qikab to our ancestors. Then
the commands were given to the rulers, and the words of the king
were sent to our ancestors. Nor did the Quiches oppose them.

_Ha [c]a ok xe pe Chiavar vae._

_This is When they Went Forth from Chiavar._
