Y después, a la tarde, llevaban todas estas comidas al cu de la diosa de los mantenimientos, llamada Chicomecóatl, y allí andaban a la rebatina con ello, y lo comían todo.

Llevaban las mozas* unas muchachas vírgenes a cuestas, vueltas en mantas, no más de siete mazorcas cada una. Echaban sobre las mazorcas gotas de aceite de ulli. Envolvíanlas en papeles. Las doncellas llevaban todas los brazos emplumados con pluma colorada, y también las piernas. Poníanlas en la cara pez derretida, que ellos llaman
