In the case of the first two clauses, at least, this later date is the accession date of the lord in question. In all three cases a 'birth' glyph group immediately follows the Distance Number. In the Lord Shield Pacal passage we have 'Shield Pacal' and then his birth date. In both the Lord Shield Pacal and Lord Chan Bahlum passages the 'birth' record is followed by the accession compound 'T713/757'.
