The accession readings are strengthened by the presence of the glyph group at C6b on the Tablet of the 96 Glyphs. C6b follows the date 9.13.10.6.8 5 Lamat 6 Xul (D4-C5) and T644 accession compounds (D5-C6a?), and it precedes 'Lord Hok/Palenque' (D6-C7). The transcription of the glyph group at C6b is TIII:793a:23. Berlin (1970a:141) thinks that this glyph must refer to 'Trias' 1 or 'Trias' 2. We think it more probable that C6b refers to the 'Trias' Group as a whole and that T793a signifies three particular offices held by Lord Hok in his rulership of Palenque.
