todo. Escúchame, que tu primo hermano, el cual es mayor que tú, N, no le ves, no tomas dél exemplo, dél aviso, de la manera que Dios le ha humillado, que ya usa del regimiento del pueblo, ya está en dignidad, ya tiene poder para juzgar las causas de la gente popular y de sentenciar y castigar a los delincuentes. Y tiene autoridad para matar a los criminosos. Ya tiene autoridad para reprender y castigar, porque ya está en la dignidad y estrado; ya tiene el principal lugar, donde le puso nuestro señor. Ya le llaman por estos nombres: tecuctlato, tlacatecuhtli. Por estos nombres le nombran todos los populares. Éste está puesto en esta dignidad por la falta de personas más prudentes y más sabios para regir este señorio o pueblo. No hay personas nobles y de gran caudal y de gran genealogía. Ya todos han faltado. Si hubiera uno tan solamente de aquéllos, hubiera nuestro señor señalado uno

\ntlacoteach: teach is read as a variant of teachcauh—elder brother. Tlaco means, inter alia, “middle.” By analogy (see n. 1), “third eldest brother” is suggested.

The corresponding Spanish text, which originally read: ”escuchame que tu hermano, el qual nascio despues de ti, N…,” was changed to read: “escuchame que tu primo hermano, el qual es maior que tu.
