[pues]tos de pies en la proa de la canoa. Luego daban al principal dellos la olla con los corazones. Luego los echaba en medio de aquel espacio que estaba entre los maderos, que era el espacio que tomaba aquella cueva donde el agua se sumía. Dicen que echados los corazones, se alborotaba el agua y hacía olas y espumas. Echados los corazones en el agua, echaban también las piedras preciosas y los papeles de ofrenda, a los cuales llamaban tetéhuitl. Atábanlos en lo alto de los maderos que allí estaban hincados. También colgaban algunos de los chalchihuites y piedras preciosas en los mismos papeles. Acabado todo esto, salíanse de entre los maderos. Luego un sátrapa tomaba un incensario a manera de cazo, y ponía en él cuatro de aquellos papeles que llamaban tetéhuitl, y encendíalos, y estando ardiendo, hacía un ademán de ofrecer hacia donde estaba el sumidero, y luego arronjaba el incensario con el papel ardiendo hacia el sumidero.
\nHecho aquello, volvía la canoa hacia tierra, y comenzaban a remar y aguijar hacia tierra donde !laman Tetamazolco, que éste era el puerto de las canoas. Luego todos se bañaban en el mismo lugar, y dallí llevaban la canoa a donde la solían guardar.
