Cuitlapilco, o otro nombre Huetzinco, vendiendo unas banderillas de papel, diciendo: "¡Ah, las banderas!" Quien se determinaba a morir, luego decía: "Compradme una banderilla." Y siéndole mercada la banderilla, luego se iba a donde estaba la dicha piedra téchcatl, y allí le mataban. Y no había quien dixese: "¿Qué es esto que nos acontece?" Y estaban como locos.
\nItem, otro embuste hizo el dicho nigromántico contra los dichos tultecas. Dicen que todos los mantenimientos se volvieron acedos, y nadie los podía comer. Y una india vieja pareció. Dicen que era el mesmo nigromántico, el cual pareció como una india vieja. Y asentóse en un lugar que se llama Xochitla. Y tostaba el maíz.

\nBehold yet another portent. It is said that stones rained upon the Tolteca. And when the stones rained, then from the heavens a large sacrificial stone fell; there at Chapoltepecuitlapilco 1 it came falling down. And afterwards a little old woman lived there. She sold [paper] flags. She walked about saying: “[Here are] your little flags.” And those who wished to die said: “Buy me one.” Thereupon one went where the sacrificial stone was. None asked: “What dost thou already do?” They were as if lost.
