Only two titles are known for Kan B'alam I in the references to him. The Palenque emblem glyph follows his name in Texts 4, 8, 9, and 10. In Text 10, which accompanies a Kan B'alam portrait carved almost exactly 100 years after his death, his name is prefixed by the K'inich title. It is not clear if this title was recorded in error (it would not be used with another Palenque ruler until K'inich Janab' Pakal I, some 50 years later) or if it was a title used by Kan B'alam in his own lifetime. It might have been inserted in Text 10 retrospectively under the influence of his namesake K'inich Kan B'alam II, who probably oversaw the finishing of the tomb below the Temple of the Inscriptions, and who invariably had the K'inich title as a prefix to his royal name. |
