Note 19 — OF THE RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OF THE INDIANS OF YUCATAN IN 1545
Reading edition
Eopuco has been interpreted by Seler as Ah uoh puc, or Ah-puch, the God of Death, or God of Evil. Brinton believes that "these words mean the Undoer, or Spoiler, apparently a euphemism to avoid pronouncing a name of evil omen." In modern Maya he is plain Yum cimil, lord of death.
