These passages seem to be parallelled in the Tablet of the Sun by the phrase, "5 'ben-ich' katuns (M4)/Lord Shield (L5)/TI:606 compound (M5)/Lady 'Ben-ich' Hel (L6)/Palenque Emblem Glyph (M6)". Preceding this passage at L4 is a glyph group that is possibly an abbreviation of the death compound of the Palace Tablet.
