[arre]bañaban cuanto hallaban, mantas y otras cosas, y lo sacaban todo fuera, oro y plata, y piedras y plumas ricas, y luego hacían de todo cargas, y se las echaban a cuestas y se iban con ellas. Y antes desto dicen que hacían muchas suciedades y deshonestidades en las mujeres de aquella casa. Y cuando ya se iban, luego se iban corriendo para sus casas con lo que llevaban hurtado. Y dicen que si alguno dellos se asentaba en el camino para descansar, no se podía más levantar, y quedábase allí hasta la mañana, y tomábanle con el hurto, y él descubría a los demás.
