salsa de mulli en una escudilla, y en descendiendo a los que habían muerto, llevábanlos a donde estaban aquellas viejas, y ellas metían en la boca a cada uno de los muertos cuatro bocadillos de pan, mojados en la salsa, y rociábanlos las caras con unas hojas de caña mojadas en agua clara. Y luego los cortaban las cabezas los que tenían cargo desto, y las espetaban en unos varales que estaban pasados por unos maderos como en lancera. Hecho todo esto se acababa la fiesta, y se iban todos a sus casas.
\nÉsta es la relación de lo que pasaba en esta fiesta.
\nAl quinto décimo mes llamaban panquetzaliztli. Ante de llegar a este mes, por reverencia de la fiesta que en él se hacía, los sátrapas y ministros de los ídolos hacían penitencia ochenta días. Iban a poner ramas en todos los oratorios y humilladeros de los montes. Comenzaban esta penitencia un día después del mes que se llama ochpaniztli. A la media noche iban a enramar los altares y oratorios y humilladeros
