[lleva]ba la tabla de las sonajas que se llamaba chicahuaztli, y poníala enhiesta delante della, y comenzaba hacer ruido con las sonajas, menéandole a una parte y a otra. Sembraban delante della encienso, y haciendo esto, la subían hasta lo alto del cu. Allí la tomaba luego uno de los sátrapas a cuestas, espaldas con espaldas, y luego llegaba otro y la cortaba la cabeza. En acabándola de cortar la cabeza, la abrían los pechos y la sacaban el corazón, y le echaban en una xícara.
\nHecho este sacrificio a honra de la diosa Xilonen, tenían todos licencia de comer xilotes y pan hecho dellos, y de comer cañas de maíz. Antes deste sacrificio nadie osaba comer estas cosas. También de ahí adelante comían bledos verdes cocidos, y pudían también oler las flores que se llaman cempoalxúchitl, y las otras que se llaman yiexúchitl.
\nTambién en esta fiesta hacían areito las mujeres, mozas, viejas y muchachas. No bailaban con ellas hombres ningunos. Todas iban ataviadas de fiesta, enplumadas las piernas y los brazos con pluma colorada de papagayos, afeitadas las caras
