The inscription on the west side of Temple XIX platform is somewhat shorter than the text of the south face, consisting of sixty-four glyphs divided into two panels. As on the south face, the text panels flank a throne scene with captioned figures.

The opening date, at A1-B1, is written as "7 Ahaw 8 K'ayab" followed at A2 by the 7-[ku-lu]-TUN-ni. This third glyph specifies the CR as corresponding to the completion of the seventh tun within an unspecified k'atun, which demands its placement at 9.6.7.0.0 7 Ahaw 8 K'ayab, which, while certainly in historical time, falls well before the reign of K'inich Ahkal Mo' Nahb' III.

The opening passage rather mysteriously refers to K'an Hoy Chitam I (formerly known as K'an Hok Chitam or Kan Xul), who ruled Palenque from 529 to 565 A.D. (in the Gregorian calendar) -- well before the accession of K'inich Ahkal Mo' Nahb' III in 721. (Genealogy of Palenque rulers.)
