\nTodas estas cosas dichas hacían los sátrapas que eran experimentados o estaban señalados para estos sacrificios. La otra gente no usaban hacer esto aunque fuese para en su casa.
\nDespués de hechas las imágines, aquellos por cuyo voto se hacían convidaban a los sátrapas para el quinto día. Después de hechas las imágines se había de hacer la fiesta. Y llegado el quinto día, aquella noche velando, cantando y bailando a honra de aquellas imágines y de los dioses que representaban, y aquella noche ofrecían cuatro veces tamales, que son como unos pastelejos redondos hechos de maíz, a los que cantaban y bailaban, que eran los sátrapas que habían hecho estas imágines, y otros convidados para esta fiesta. A todos daban comida cuatro veces en aquella noche, y todas cuatro veces tocaban instrumentos musicales, los que ellos usaban, que eran silbos que hacen metiendo el dedo muñique en la boca y tocando caracoles y flautas de las que ellos usaban. Esto hacían unos mozos juglares que usaban de hacer esta música, y también a éstos les daban comida. Esto se hacía cuatro veces en esta noche.
\nEn amaneciendo, los sátrapas descalzaban aquellas imágines que habían hecho de masa. Descabezábanlos torciéndolos las cabezas, y tomaban toda aquella masa y llevábanla a la casa donde estaban todos juntos los sátrapas, que se llamaba calmécac.
