[orde]nados y cantando y bailando de dos en dos hombres, y en medio de cada dos hombres una mujer. Estos que hacían este areito era toda gente escogida, capitanes y otros valientes hombres exercitados en las cosas de la guerra. Estos que llevaban las mujeres entre sí, llevaban asidas de las manos. La otra gente noble, que no eran exercitados en la guerra, no entraban en este areito. Iban las mujeres muy ataviadas, con ricos huipiles y naoas, y labrados de diversas labores, y muy costosos; unas llevaban naoas que llaman yollo; otras que llaman totolitipetlayo; otras que llaman cacamoliuhqui; otras que llaman ilacatziuhqui o tlatzcállotl; otras que llaman pétztic; todas con sus cortapisas muy labradas. Y los huipiles, unos llevaban los que se llaman cuappachpipílcac; otros que llaman poc-huipilli; otros que llaman yapalpipílcac; otros que llaman cacallo; otros que llaman mimichcho; otros blancos, sin ningún labor. Las cargantas destos huipiles llevaban unos labores muy anchos, que cubrían todo el pecho, y las flocaduras de los huipiles eran muy anchas.
\nBailaban estas mujeres en cabello, los cabellos tendidos, y las trenzas con que soelen atar
