eran como senadores, que habían siempre de estar al lado del señor y entender todos los negocios graves del reino. Estos cuatro tenían en diversos lugares diversos nombres. Y al tiempo de la electión, muchos de los que tenían sospecha que los eligerían, se ascondían por no ser electos, por no tomar tan gran carga. Electos los cinco, escogían un día que por la astrología judiciaria fuese bien afortunado, y llegando aquel día sacábanlos a público; llevábanlos a la casa de Huitzilopuchtli.
\nLlegado aquel día senalado que era bien afortunado, los principales sátrapas iban a buscar al señor electo y a los otros electos, y tomábanlos, y desnudos los llevaban al cu de Huitzilopuchtli, y delante del cu vestían al señor de las ves[tiduras]
