91. It was on the day 10th Tzy that occurred the destruction of the
Quiches at Iximche; but the news of it had not yet reached our
ancestors, Oxlahu[TN-21] tzii and Cablahuh Tihax, when the Quiches
came to destroy the Zotzil Tukuches. A fugitive came bearing to the
chiefs the news that they were to be slain: "Day after to-morrow
they will slay you. All the Quiche nation will come to slay and
destroy the people of the city, which they will enter by force;
truly their entry will be terrible, for they are many more than
eight thousand or sixteen thousand men." Thus spoke this fugitive
when he arrived among the Cakchiquels. The chiefs immediately
assembled in council and said: "Listen! It is a good thing that we
are to measure ourselves against the Quiches." Thus spoke the
chiefs. Immediately they sent forth messengers. One division of the
people formed and went forth to meet the Quiches, and the
inhabitants alone went forth to battle. They went by the main road
to the summit of the mountain, burning everything on the way. They
met in conflict the battalions from Tibaqoy and Raxakan, and closed
the road to those of Galeah, of Pazaki uleuh and Ginoma.

weapons, awaiting the arrival of the enemies.
