la gente baxa que llamaban achcacauhti. No venían por eleción a aquel oficio, sino mandados. Solamente pretendían para este oficio que fuesen valientes, esforzados y de buena plática. Los que vían hacer esta justicia tomaban temor y escarmiento si eran avisados. Pero los que eran tochos y son locados, reíanse deste negocio y burlaban de lo que se decía. No tenían en nada el castigo ni la plática. Todo lo echaban por alto. No temían la muerte.
\nEn acabando de hacer esta justicia, todos los que estaban juntos mirándola comenzaban a derramarse y irse a sus casas, levantando mucho polvo con los pies y sacudiendo sus mantas. No quedaba nadie en aquel lugar.
\nAquí se acaba la relación de la fiesta llamada huei tecuhílhuitl.
