\nLos ornamentos eran de plumas ricas: uno se llamaba quetzalquémitl, que quiere decir "capa de quetzales verdes y resplandecientes"; otro se llamaba xiuhtotoquémitl, que quiere decir "capa de plumas azules y resplandecientes"; otro se llama tozquémitl, que quiere decir "capa de plumas amarillas y resplandecientes"; otro se llamaba huitzitzilquémitl, que quiere decir "capa hecha de plumas resplandecientes de zinzones"; y otras muchas capas, no tan preciosas como las ya dichas. Todas estas capas tendían sobre mantas ricas, al sol, delante la imagen, todo un día, y a esto decían que calentaban o asoleaban. Y ofrecíanle delante comidas preciosas de muchas maneras, así los principales como la gente común. Y después de un poco las apartaban, y los ministros de aquella iglesia las dividían entre sí, y las comían todos juntamente aquellos que eran ministros de Huitzi[lopuchtli]
