My Translation of Altar Q, Copan

Altar Q, Copan, looks like a very large table. The top features a large inscription, followed by 16 of the 17 kings of Copan, surrounding it's side. The kings are depicted, sitting on their name glyphs. The lineage founder, Yax Kuk Mo, is shown, passing on the K'awil scepter to the last recorded king on the altar, Yax Pasaj. Since there are 16 kings, there are 4 kings on each panel. On the top of Altar Q, Copan, we get the following inscription: Image Source A1B1: 5 Kaban, 15 Sip A2B2: u-kan k'awil, Ch'ok te'na A3B3: ajaw k'uk-il, 8 ajaw A4B4: 18 Sip, ta-l(i) A5B5: Ch'ok te'na, Yax K'uk Mo.
