Pretty Cool

The Linda Schele drawing shows this:
But then I realized that is really was this:

The center reads:
6 Kaban, 10 Mol, joy-ahaw-w(a) yax pasaj chaan yooat, 16-tz'ak-k(a), ch'a-ho-m(a), k'uhul-ahaw-w(a)-ox witik(copan). 

Transliteration 
6 Kaban 10 Mol, joy ahaw yax pasaj chaan yooat, 16 tz'ak, ch'a hom, k'uhul ahaw Ox Witik(Copan). 

Loose Translation 
On 6 Kaban 10 Mol, Yax Pasaj Chan Yooat was raised to lordship, the 16th in succession, as blood letter and holy lord of Copan.

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.
