We know of another event from the life of K'an Joy Chitam from a Temple of the Sun inscription that we looked at previously, while discussing Toktan. On 9.3.1.15.0 12 Ajaw 8 Keh (November 20, 496) he participated in an event or ceremony that seems to have been reserved for royal heirs. He was about five and a half years old at the time. Glyphs P3-Q3 read K'AL-wa-ni-ya ta-'OOK-TE'-le, k'al-wan-iiy ta-ookte'-el. Since we don't know the meaning of ookte', the name of the office or ceremony itself, this is best translated "he was held in ookte'-ship." This may refer to an heir designation ceremony. It took place at Toktan, as we can see from the glyph at P5. |
