[quebrán]dose una soga, los que estaban asidos a ella caían y morían súbitamente, cayendo unos sobre otros. Y ansí, no pudiendo arrastrar al dicho muerto, dixo el dicho nigromántico a los dichos tultecas: "¡Ah, tultecas, este muerto quiere un verso de canto!" Y él mesmo dixo el canto, diciéndoles: "Arrastraldo al muerto Tlacahuepan nigromántico." Y ansí, en cantando este verso, luego comenzaron a llevar arrastrando al muerto, dando gritos y voces. Y en quebrando una soga, todos los que estaban asidos a la soga murían. Y los que se empuxaban unos a otros y los que caían unos sobre otros, todos murían. Y llevaron el muerto hasta el monte. Y los que volvieron no sentían aquello que les había acaecido, porque estaban como borrachos.
