Otro embuste hizo el dicho nigromántico en el dicho Tulla. Es que dicen que andaba volando una ave blanca que se llama iztaccuixtli pasado con una saeta, algo lexos de la tierra, y claramente la veían los dichos tultecas mirando hacia arriba.
\nOtro embuste hizo el dicho nigromántico, que fue de los dichos tultecas, los cuales vían de noche una sierra que se llama Zacatépec ardiéndose, y las llamas parecían de lexos. Y al tiempo que la vían, alborotábanse y daban gritos y voces. Y estaban desasosegados, y decían unos a otros: " ¡Oh, tultecas, ya nos acaba la fortuna, ya perecemos, ya se acaba tultecáyotl, ya nos vino la mala ventura! ¡Guay de nosotros! ¿Adónde nos iremos? ¡Oh, desventurados de nosotros! ¡Esforzaos!"
\nIten, otro embuste que fue de los dichos tultecas, lo cual hizo hizo [sic, repetido] el dicho nigromántico, que llovió sobre ellos piedras, y después de pasado esto cayóles del cielo una piedra grande que se llamaba téchcatl. Y desde entonces andaba una vieja india en un lugar que se llama Chapultépec
