Simple English

I can’t write even one percent of what this people did. They had become many people. But many of their stories are written on the larger plates. Their wars, fights, and the rules of their kings are written there.

Paraphrase

I can’t write even a hundredth of what’s happening among these people, who are growing in number. Much of their history is written on the larger plates—their wars, their conflicts, the reigns of their kings.
