then it was lost from view. When the sun rose, the flame was in the place where the sun is at midday. This lasted for a year, every night, beginning in Twelve House. When it appeared at midnight, all the people would shout and take fright; everyone suspected that it was a sign of some great evil.
\nThe second sign1 that occurred was that the ornamented pillar2 of a cu [temple] of Huitzilopochtli, called Tlacateccan, miraculously took fire and burned. The tongues of flame seemed to come from inside the wooden columns, and when it burned it quickly turned to ashes. The satraps [priests] began to shout, saying, “O Mexica, come quickly to put out the fire with jars of

and center. It showed itself off to the east. When it came out at midnight it appeared like the dawn. When dawn came, then the sun on coming out effaced it. For a full year it showed itself (it was in [the year] Twelve House that it began). And when it appeared there would be an outcry, and people would hit their hands against their mouths as they yelled. People were taken aback, they lamented.1
\nThe second omen that happened here in Mexico was that of its own accord the house of the devil Huitzilopochtli, what they call his mountain,2 named Tlacateccan, burned and flared up; no one set fire to it, it just took fire itself. When the fire was seen, the wooden pillars were already burning. Tongues and tassels of flame were coming from inside; very quickly they consumed
\nTLATEMMA. Read “tlatemmachoia.” See Sahagún 1950–1982: 13.2. Although the verb often means “to be lazy, inactive,” and so appears later in the text, here its second meaning, “to tell one’s troubles,” seems more apt. When I say “read” in relation to Nahuatl passages, I am fairly confident that the subsequent form was the intention of the writer. Such is not the case with the readings offered for dubious, deficient, or deviant forms in the Spanish text; see n. 1 above.↩
ITEIOC. This form, which would be “his rock (inalienable, locative),” is a mistake for “itepeioc,” ‘his mountain’; Sahagún 1950–1982: 13.2, points out that the Real Palacio manuscript in fact has “itepeyoc.”↩
llegando al cielo, bien se erguía llegando al centro del cielo. Así se veía, allá en el oriente, hacia acá se levantaba, así salía a la media noche, parecía como que comenzaba a amanecer. En amaneciendo, el sol, cuando emergía, la hacía desaparecer. Durante un año hacia acá se alzaba (en el 12 Casa comenzó). Y cuando aparecía, había ruido, había labios golpeados con las manos, había espanto, había angustia.
\nSegundo tetzahuitl que ocurrió aquí en México: por sí sola ardió, se encendió, nadie le puso fuego, sólo por sí misma se prendió la casa del diablo Huitzilopochtli. Se le decía Itepéyoc, el lugar de nombre Tlacateccan. [Así] se manifestó: ya arden las columnas, de sus adentros emergen espigas de fuego, lenguas de fuego, llamaradas de fuego –con mucha rapidez saboreó toda la madera de la casa.
