[ren]cle, cada uno cabe su captivo, y cuando la segunda vez el Páinal subía al cu, cada uno dellos tomaba por los cabellos a su captivo y llevábalo a un lugar que se llama apétlac, y allí los dexaban todos.
\nLuego descendían los que los habían de echar en el fuego, y enpolvorizábanlos con encienso las caras, arronjándoselo a puñados, el cual traían molido en unas talegas. Luego los tomaban, y atábanlos las manos atrás, y también los ataban los pies. Luego los echaban sobre los hombros a cuestas, y subíanlos arriba a lo alto del cu, donde estaba un gran fuego y gran montón de brasa, y llegados arriba luego daban con ellos en el fuego. Al tiempo que los arrojaban, alzábase un gran polvo de ceniza, y cada uno a donde caía allí se hacía un gran hoyo en el fuego, porque todo era brasa y rescoldo. Y allí en el fuego comenzaba a dar voelcos y hacer bascas el triste captivo. Comenzaba a rechinar el cuerpo como cuando asan algún animal, y levantábanse vexigas por todas partes del cuerpo. Y estando en esta agonía, sacábanle con unos garabatos, arrastrando, los sátrapas que llamaban cuacuacuiltin, y poníanle encima del taxón que se llamaba téchcatl. Y luego le abrían los pechos de tetilla a tetilla, o un poco más baxo. Luego le arrancaban el corazón y le arrojaban a los pies del estatua de Xiuhtecuhtli, dios de Xiuhtecuhtli [sic, repetido], dios del fuego.
\nDesta manera mataban todos los captivos que tenían para sacrificar en aquella fiesta, y acabándolos de matar to[dos]
