Note XI-14 — Chapter XI · THE QUICHÉ-CAKCHIQUEL EMPIRE IN GUATEMALA.
Reading edition
Brasseur, in Popol Vuh, p. 297, gives a list from another document of many of these new settlements, many of which as he claims can be identified with modern localities. The chief of the new towns was Chiquix, 'in the thorns,' possibly the name from which Quiché was derived. This city occupied four hills, or was divided into four districts, the Chiquix, Chichac, Humetaha, and Culba-Cavinal.
