cascabelitos de oro y sartales de caracolitos marinos blancos y hermosos. Destos sartales colgaba un cuero que era como peto, y llevábale ceñido de manera que cubría todo el pecho, hasta la cintura. Llevaba este peto muchos caracolitos sembrados y colgados por todo él. Llevaban también un cosete de tela blanca pintado, la orilla de abaxo deste cosete iba bordada con plumas blancas, tres listas por todo el rededor. Llevaban una manta rica; la tela della era un azul claro, y toda labrada encima de muchos labores de un azul muy fino. Llamábase esta manta tzitzilli. Esta manta se ponía por la cintura, atada por las esquinas al cuerpo. Sobre esta manta iba una medalla de mosaico atada al cuerpo sobre los lomos. También llevaban unos sartales de cascabeles de oro para atar a las gargantas de los pies, y también unas cotaras blancas como los señores las solían traer. Llevaron también los atavíos y ornamentos del dios que llamaban Tlalocantecuhtli, que era una máscara con su plumaje, como la que se dixo arriba, con una bandera como la que arriba se dixo. También unas orejeras de chalchíhuitl anchas que tenía dentro unas culebritas de chalchichuites, y también un cosete pintado de labores verdes y unos sartales o collar de piedras preciosas, con una medalla de piedras preciosas. Y también llevaban una medalla con que se cenía los lomos, como la que arriba se dixo, con una manta rica con que se cenía, como se dixo arriba, y cascabeles de oro para poner a los pies, y su báculo como el de arriba.

Y el cayado en forma de xonecuilli1 de Ehécatl, curvado de la cabeza, salpicado con chalchihuites blancos, como estrellado. Y sus cacles de espuma. Todas éstas que se llaman insignias divinas, se convirtieron en las insignias de los mensajeros, además de muchos otros objetos que llevaron a su encuentro con [los españoles]: la caracola para la cabeza hecha de oro, de la que cuelgan plumas de loro, el gorro cónico de oro, etc.
