Exercise 9 from Michael Coe's book, Altar A from Piedras Negras. I'll jump straight into transliteration for simplicity's sake: AB: 7 Men 18 Kank'in, sih-yaj, Ruler 4, ch'ok.

This is actually funny. Yaxchilan lintel 25. I thought it was backwards, because the tzolk'in dates were at the end. So I ended up translating it backwards. Attached is my backerds image and proof of translation. Haha. Sorry, I didn't post this properly with a transliteration but when you see the photos you'll understand.
