Todas las noches, un poco antes de la media noche, los ministros de los ídolos que tenían cargo desto [tlatlapitzaliztli], tocaban los caracoles y trompetas y cornetas. Y luego se levantaban todos a ofrecer sangre y encienso a los ídolos en los cúes y en todas las casas particulares.
\nEn llegando la media noche, los ministros que se llamaban cuacuacuiltin, tañían los atabales para que despertasen. Y los que no despertaban aquella hora, castigábanlos echando sobre ellos agua o rescoldo del fuego.
