sacerdotes y ministros de nuestros dioses, habéis tomado trabajo de venir aquí a nuestra casa, y os truxo nuestro señor todopoderoso! Hacemos os saber que nuestro señor fue servido de hacernos merced de darnos una criatura, como una joya o pluma rica que nos fue dada. Si mereciéremos que este muchacho se críe y viva, y es varón, no conviene que le mostremos oficio de mujer teniéndole en casa. Por tanto, os le damos por vuestro hijo y os le encargamos. Y agora al presente ofrecémosle al señor Quetzalcóatl, o otro nombre Tlilpotonqui, para entrar en la casa de calmécac, que es la casa de penitencia y lágrimas donde se crían los señores nobles, porque en este lugar se merecen los tesoros de Dios, orando y haciendo penitencia con lágrimas y gemidos, y pidiendo a Dios que les haga misericordia y merced de darles sus riquezas. Desde agora le ofrecemos para que en llegando a edad convenible entre y viva en casa de nuestro señor, donde se crían y dotrinan los señores nobles, y para que este nuestro muchacho tenga cargo de barrer y limpi[ar]
