[ro]dela blanca, enblanqueada con greda. Llevaba en el medio de la rodela un corro hecho de plumas de águila y cosido a la misma rodela. Los rapacejos de abaxo eran blancos, hechos de plumas de carzotas, y en los remates de los rapacejos iban unas plumas de águila enxeridas. En la una mano lleva la rodela; en la otra el tzotzopaztli con que texen. Y llevaba la cara teñida de dos colores, y desde la nariz abaxo de negro y desde la nariz arriba de amarillo. Y llevaba una cabellera que le colgaba por las espaldas. Llevaba por corona unas plumas de águila, apegadas a la cabellera. Llamaban esta cabellera tzompilinalli.
\nAnte que la matasen a esta mujer, hacíanla danzar y bailar, y hacíanle el son los viejos, y cantábanle los cantores. Y andando bailando, lloraba y sospiraba y angustiábase, viendo que tenía cerca la muerte. Esto pasaba hasta mediodía o poco más. Ya que el Sol declinaba hacia la tarde, subíanla aquel cu de Huitzilopuchtli, y íbanlas siguiendo todos los sátrapas, vestidos de los ornamentos de todos los dioses, y enmascarados. Y también uno dellos llevaba los ornamentos y máscara de la diosa Ilamatecuhtli.
