Reading edition
'In the province of Quezaltenango, there are still to be met with the vestiges and foundations of many large fortresses, among which is the celebrated one of Parrazquin, situated on the confines of Totonicapan and Quezaltenango; and the citadel of Olintepeque, formed with all the intricacies of a labyrinth, and which was the chief defence of the important city of Xelahuh.' Juarros' Hist. Guat., pp. 485, 379. Slight mention also, probably resting on no other authority than the paragraph above quoted, in Wappäus, Geog. u. Stat., p. 247; Hassel, Mex. Guat., p. 341.
