Default Starter install ?

I'm trying to get my accessories back on my motor and I have a question. I have two really thick black wires. One comes from under the car I'm assuming the battery and the other is bolted to the bottom of the passenger side motor mount. They both end up around the end of the starter but I can't remember if they both bolt on to the starter or not. Does anyone have a clue. I originally marked these but the masking tape fell off when I cleaned the engine bay. I thought one grounded to the engine but now I can't remember.

One grounds to the engine. The one that runs over the transmission goes to the battery.
