In this article the contents of page 3 of the Chilam Balam of Kaua and its parallel passages are approached in a comprehensive manner with the objective of reaching a better understanding of the disease discussed here, the am can mo ik tamcas. The text is studied, proposing a new translation, and the different interpretations that can be made of it are discussed. Its image is analyzed and a visual link with the image of the bird and the serpent of the medieval Beatus is proposed. Finally, the text-image relationship and the information it provides us with are discussed.
