v1.c7.186
"The books of Chilan Balam are the old traditions of the Mayas, which survived the Spanish conquest of Yucatan. They record the migrations of Maya clans, and were reduced to writing in the sixteenth century. I was informed by a wandering Maya Indian that in the Mexican territory of Quintana Roo he had come across a great slab of stones lying buried in the bush upon which were inscribed: ‘Ubalob uxben uincoob,’ or things belonging to the ancient people. He said he had found it not many miles north of the British Honduras frontier.
