en dos juntas. Tenía un cetro hecho a manera de corazón, que en lo alto tenía unos penachos verdes, y de lo baxo colgaban también otros penachos verdes y amarillos.
\nEste dios de los convites decían que tenían dominio y poder sobre los convites y convidados, que es cuando los principales hermanos convidaban a toda su parentela para darlos de comer y mantas y flores y que bailasen y danzasen y cantasen en su casa. Y cuando este regocijo se había de hacer, el que le hacía llevaba la imagen deste dios a su casa. Llevábanla algunos sátrapas de los que servían en su templo. Decían que si no le hacían aquella honra que se le debía hacer, enojábase y aparecía en sueños al dueño del convite, y reprendíale y reñíale, diciendo desta manera: "Tú, mal hombre, ¿por qué no me has honrado como convenía? Yo te dexaré. Yo me apartaré de ti, y tú me pagarás muy bien la injuria que has hecho."
\nY si mucho se enojaba, mostraba su enojo en que entre la comida y bebida mezclaba pelos o cabellos, para dar pena a los convidados y deshonra al señor del convite. Y éstos, cuando comulgaban en la fiesta deste dios, enfermaban muchas veces. Y cuando comían o bebían, añuscábanse con la comida o bebida, que no la podía tragar, y yendo y andando tropezaban y caían muchas veces.
\nY cuando hacían fiesta a este dios, que era de noche, comulgaban con su cuerpo. Y para esta comunión los principales y teupixques, y los que tenían cargo de los barrios, hacían de masa una figura de un hueso grueso, redondo y largo como un cobdo, y llamábanle el hueso deste dios. Y antes que comulgasen comían y bebían pulcre. Después de haber co[mido]
