Proskouriakoff first associated T740, the "up-ended frog" glyph, with the 'initial' date of a person. We accept Kelley's reading for the T740 glyph as 'birth'. T740 occurs in rather disconcerting profusion at Palenque, and with the birth dates of some of the rulers there is still confusion. In the case of Lord Shield Pacal, however, there is no problem: his birth date occurs four times in the Palenque inscriptions (figure 3), and each time the date is immediately followed by a clear 'birth' glyph group, T740.181:125 or 246, or 125 [88].
