Estando así ordenados, luego comenzaban uno de los sátrapas a quitarlos unas banderillas de papel que llamaban [sic] en las manos, las cuales eran señal de que iban sentenciados a muerte. Quitábanles también los otros papeles con que iban aderezados, y alguna manta si llevaban cubierta, y todo esto poníanlo en el fuego para que se quemase, en un pilón hecho de piedras que llamaban cuauhxicalli. Todos iban por esta orden desnudándolos y echando en el fuego sus atavíos, porque no tenían más necesidad de vestiduras ni otra cosa, como quien luego había de morir. Estando así todos desnudos esperando la muerte, venía un sátrapa aderezado con sus ornamentos, y traía en los brazos al estatua del dios que llamaban Páinal, también adornada con sus atavíos. Llegado aquel sátrapa con su estatua que tenía en los brazos, subía luego al cu donde habían de morir los captivos, y llegaba al lugar donde los había de matar, que se llamaba Tlacacouhcan. Llegado allí, luego tornaba a descendir, y pasaba delante de todos los captivos, y tornaba otra vez a subir como primero. Los señores de los captivos estaban también ordenados en ren[cle]
