alpha-quantile of chi square

Please take a look first at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ljung%E2%80%93Box_test#Formal_definition

It is written, $\chi_{1-\alpha,h}^2$ is the $\alpha$-quantile of the chi-squared distribution with $h$ degrees of freedom.

Does $\chi_{1-\alpha,h}^2$ mean:

  1. The area below the graph of $\chi^2(h)$ from $\chi_{1-\alpha,h}^2$ to $\infty$ is $\alpha$, or
  2. The area below the graph of $\chi^2(h)$ from $\chi_{1-\alpha,h}^2$ to $\infty$ is $1-\alpha$?
