[con]vidados, y los que hacían la fiesta dábanlos mantas y maxtles o lo que querían, y las mujeres entraban ordenadas por otra parte y dábanles huipiles o naoas o lo que querían.
\nEstas fiestas hacían solos los mercaderes que compraban los esclavos. Habiendo dado mantas y lo demás a los convidados, luego llevaban los esclavos al cu, y después que habían dado vuelta al cu en procesión, luego los subían sobre el cu. Llegando arriba, andaban en procesión alrededor del taxón, y tornaban a descendir abaxo, y desque llegaban abaxo iban corriendo al calpulco. Otros no corrían, sino iban de espacio. Y llegando al calpulco, descomponíanlos los papeles y sentábanlos sobre unos petates. Traíanlos allí de comer, y también pulcre, porque comiesen y bebiesen los que quisiesen.
\nToda la noche los hacían velar allí. Y llegada la media noche, poníanlos en rencle delante del fuego y cortábanlos los cabellos de la coronilla, y guardábanlos por reliquias, como está dicho. Hecho esto, comenzaban a comer masa de bledos que tenían aparejados. Ninguno dexaba de comerla, y estos tamales rollizos no los partían con la mano, sino con un hilo de ichtli. En acabando de comer estos tamales, cogían los petates y enrollábanlos, y poníanlos todos jun[tos]
