de bledos la imagen del monte. Poníanle delante junto unas masas rollizas y larguillas de masa de bledos, a manera de huesos, y éstos llamaban iomio. Hacían estas imágines a honra de los montes altos donde se juntas las nubes, y en memoria de los que habían muerto en agua o heridos de rayo, y de los que no se quemaban sus cuerpos, sino que los enterraban. Estos montes hacíanlos sobre unos rodeos o roscas hechos de heno, atados con sogas de zacate, y guardábanlos de un año para otro. La vigilia desta fiesta llevaban a lavar estas roscas al río o a la fuente, y cuando los llevaban íbanlos tañendo con unos pitos hechos de barro cocido o con unos caracoles mariscos. Lavábanlos en unas casas o oratorios que estaban hechos a la orilla del agua, que se llaman ayauhcalli. Lavábanlos con unas hojas de cañas verdes. Algunos en el agua que pasaba junto a su casa los lavaban.
\nEn acabándolos de lavar, volvíanlos a su casa con la misma música. Luego hacían sobre ellos las imágenes de los montes, como está dicho. Algunos hacían estas imágines de noche, antes
