\nEste Tullan teuhua tenía cargo de proveer de papel y copal y ulli para cuando habían de matar a la imagen de Tultécatl, al cual mataban en el fin del mes que se llamaba quecholli o en el principio del mes que se llamaba tepeílhuitl.
\nThis Acolnahuacatl Ahcolmiztli would be in charge of providing all that was necessary for the time when the lord or king would be fasting during the festival of Tlaloc, during the fast of the sun, and during the fast of Quecholli—all of which are very solemn fasts. He would provide the clothing and the sandals, et cetera, that the lord had to wear during these fasts.
\nThis teohuah from Tollan would be in charge of providing paper, copal, and olli for when they would kill the image of Toltecatl, whom they would kill at the end of the month called Quecholli or at the beginning of the month called Tepeilhuitl.

\nAcolnauatl Acolmiztli issued directions about all the adornment with which Moctezuma was adorned at the time that he fasted. Only at the time of the great feasts did he fast: at the time when there was fasting for Tlaloc, and when there was fasting for the sun, and when there was fasting for [the feast of] Quecholli. He issued directions about the cape, the sleeveless jacket, and the foam sandals.
\nThe Keeper of the God of Tollan issued directions for what [the impersonator of] Totoltecatl required: the paper, the incense, the [liquid] rubber, and the obsidian sandals, the heron feather headdress, and the lordly flowers, everything which [the impersonator of] Totoltecatl required when he died, at the time of [the feast of] Quecholli tlami and sometimes at the time of [the feast of] Tepeilhuitl.
