Otro embuste hizo el nigromántico ya dicho. Asentóse en medio del mercado del tiánquez y dixo llamarse Tlacahuepan, o otro nombre Cuéxcoch. Y hacía bailar a un muchachuelo en la palma de sus manos. Dizque era Huitzilopuchtli. Y le ponía danzando en sus manos al dicho muchachuelo. Y como le vieron los dichos tultecas, todos se levantaron y fueron a mirarle. Y empuxábanse unos a otros, y ansí murieron muchos ahogados y acoceados. Y esto acaeció muy muchas veces que los dichos tultecas se mataban empuxándose unos a otros.
