[Cuauh]titlan que era generoso y se llamaba Tlachinoltzin. Era ilustre. Tenía vasallos y tenía servicio. Y el uctli le derrocó de su dignidad y estado porque se dio mucho al uctli y se emborrachaba mucho. Todas sus tierras vendió y gastó el precio dellas emborrachándose.

Y como no tuvo más que vender, su mujer trabajaba en hilar y en texer para con el precio comprar uctli para beber. Este sobredicho, que era tlacatéccatl y muy esforzado, y valiente y muy generoso, algunas veces acontecía que después de borracho se tendía en el camino por donde baxaba la gente, y allí estaba todo lleno de polvo, y sucio y desnudo.

Y él le atajó, porque mandó y encargó al señor de Cuauhtitlan, que se llamaba Aztatzon, el cual era hermano menor del dicho Tlachinoltzin. Y aunque era
