Note XXVII-14 — Chapter XXVII · REVOLT OF THE CAKCHIQUELS. 1524-1525.
Reading edition
The high price of food during this war is evident from an act of the cabildo, passed May 6, 1525, limiting the charge for a hog weighing 120 pounds to twenty pesos de oro, equivalent to nearly $300 of our day; while eggs were one real de oro each, that is over $1.50. Arévalo, Actas Ayunt. Guat., 13-14.
