\nHacían en esta fiesta unos juegos que son los siguientes:
\nTodos los pellejos de los desollados se vestían muchos mancebos, a los cuales llamaban tototecti. Poníanse todos sentados sobre unos lechos de heno o de tízatl o greda. Estando allí sentados, otros mancebos provocábanlos a pelear, o con palabras o con pellizcos, y ellos echaban tras los que les incitaban a pelear, y los otros huían, y alcanzándolos comenzaban a luchar o pelear los unos con los otros, y se prendían los unos a los otros, y encerraban a los presos, y no salían de la cárcel sin pagar alguna cosa.
\nEn acabando esta pelea, luego comenzaban a cuchillar a los que habían de morir a cuchilladas sobre la muela. Peleaban contra ellos cuatro, los dos vestidos como tigres y los otros dos como águilas. Y antes que comenzasen a pelear levantaban la rodela y la espada hacia el Sol, como demandando esfuerzo al Sol, y luego comenzaban a pelear uno contra uno. Y si era valiente el que estaba atado y se defendía bien, acometiánla dos, y después tres, y si todavía se defendía, acometíanle todos cuatro. En esta pelea iban bailando y haciendo muchos meneos los cuatro.
