Page "Votan" Paragraph 3

In his account, Bishop Núñez de Vega also states that Votan belonged to the royal lineage of " Cham " ( probably " chan " or snake ) and that he established a kingdom called " Na Chan " ( Snake House ) on the Usumacinta River that eventually extended across Chiapas and Soconusco to the Pacific Coast.

Additional information can be found in a 1786 publication by Antonio del Río that cites the same sources as Clavigero and speculates at length on Votan's identity and travels to the Old World.
