Y cuando le quitaban la bedixa del colodrillo, dexábanle una bedixa sobre la oreja derecha que le cubría la oreja a sólo un lado, que era el derecho,1 y con esto parecía que tenía otra presencia más honrada, que era señal que en compañía de otros había captivado a alguno. Y por haber captivado con compañeros y haber dexádole la bedixa en señal de honra, saludábanle sus abuelos o sus tíos, diciéndole: "Nieto nuestro, hate lavado la cara el Sol y la Tierra. Ya tienes otra cara, porque te atreviste y te esforzaste a captivar en compañía de otros. Mira que te valdría más perderte y que te captivasen tus enemigos, que no que otra vez captivases en compañía de otros, porque si esto fuese, pondríante otra bedixa de la parte de la otra ore[ja]

and calf; the third one would keep the right arm; the fourth one would keep the left arm (understanding it as from the elbow up]; the fifth one would keep the right arm from the elbow down; and the sixth one would keep the left arm from the elbow down. And when they were cutting off the lock from the back of [the warrior’s] head, they would leave a lock of hair covering his ear, but only on the right side [of his head].1 And this would make it clear that he had achieved a more honorable status, as it was the sign that he had captured someone with the help of other [companions]. And in recognition of his having taken a captive with his companions and having his lock of hair cut off as a sign of honor, his grandfathers and uncles would greet him, saying, “Our grandson, the sun and the earth have washed your face. Now you have another face, because you were daring and you endeavored to take a captive with the help of others. Watch out, for it would be better for you to get lost and be captured by your enemies than for you to seize a captive next time with the help of others; because, if this should happen, they will put another lock of hair on the side of your other ear,
\nIn the manuscript, the phrase y sobre la oreja derecha le dexaban una bedixa (and they would leave a lock of hair above the right ear) is crossed out after que era el derecho (but only on the right side). Cf. LAGQ 2:781.↩
