del tigre. Con esto se devierte el tigre a mirar la hoja que caye, y llega la saeta y pásale o hiérele. Y luego el tigre da un salto hacia arriba, y tornando a caer en tierra, tórnase a sentar como estaba de antes. Y allí muere, asentado, sin cerrar los ojos; aunque está muerto, parece vivo. Cuando el tigre caza, primero hipa, y con aquel aire desmaya a lo que ha de cazar. La carne del tigre tiene mal sabor: requema.
\nUna gente que eran como asisinos, los cuales se llamaban nonotzaleque, era gente osada y atrevida para matar. Traían consigo del pellejo del tigre, un pedazo de la frente y otro pedazo del pecho, y al cabo de la cola, y las unas y el corazón, y los colmillos y los hocicos. Decían que con esto eran fuertes y osados, y espantables a todos. Y todos los temían, y a ninguno habían miedo, por razón de tener consigo estas cosas del tigre. Éstos se llaman también pixeque teyolpachoani.
