Note V-75 — Chapter V · ANTIQUITIES OF YUCATAN. (continued 2)

Akab-Tzib and not Akatzeeb, as Stephens spells it. Brasseur de Bourbourg, Hist. Nat. Civ., tom. ii., p. 12; Stephens' Yucatan, vol. ii., pp. 291-2, with plate of front and of the sculptured lintel. 'Those (rooms) fronting the south are the most remarkable, the inner doorways having each a stone lintel of an unusually large size, measuring thirty-two inches wide, forty-eight long, and twelve deep; having on its inner side a sculptured figure of an Indian in full dress, with cap and feathers, sitting upon a cushioned seat, finely worked; having before him a vase containing flowers, with his right hand extended over it, his left resting upon the side of the cushion—the whole bordered with hieroglyphics. The front part of this lintel contains two rows of hieroglyphics. 43×150×20 feet, walls 3 feet thick. Norman's Rambles in Yuc., pp. 123-4. 'Un énorme bâtiment près des Nonnes, mais totalemente dénué de sculptures.' Charnay, Ruines Amér., p. 344.
