Y el rey o señor ofrecía muchas y diversas maneras de flores delante la imagen de Huitzilopuchtli, flores que llaman yolloxúchitl, y otras que llaman eloxúchitl, y otras, cacahuaxúchitl. Finalmente, ofrecíanle flores de todo género, compuestas de diversas maneras y con diversos labores: unas llaman chimalxúchitl, y otras, ololiuhqui, y otras momoyáhuac, todas flores de muy suave olor. Y de los olores y suavidades de flores estaba llena aquella iglesia.
\nTambién ofrecían cañas de humo, en manojos de veinte en veinte. Allí se estaban humeando y quemando delante la estatua, y el humo que salía estaba como niebla.
\nLos señores de los magueyes o taberneros que vendían el pulcre cortaban y agujeraban los magueyes para que manasen miel en este signo. Tenían que por agujerarles en este signo no manaría mucho. Y ofrecían el primero pulcre delante de Huitzilopuchtli, como por primicias. A este primer pulcre llamaban huitztli. Echábanlo en unos vasos que llamaban acatecómatl, sobre los cuales estaban unas cañas con que bebían los viejos que ya tenían licencia para beber octli.
