o el capitán tolnahuácatl, o el capitán cihuatecpanécatl, o otros nombres que cuadraban a los capitanes. De allí adelante se podían sentar en los estrados que ellos usaban de petates y icpales en la sala donde se asentaban los otros capitanes y otros valientes hombres, como son tlacochcálcatl, tlacatécatl, ticociahuácatl, atenpanécatl, los cuales son primeros y principales en los asientos, y tienen barbotes largos, y orejeras de cuero, y borlas en las cabezas, con que están compuestos. Y aquellos que captivaban por sí seis o siete o diez de los enemigos, si estos captivos eran cuextecas o tenimes, no por eso los ponían con los más principales arriba dichos. Solamente los llamaban capitanes. Y para subir a la honra de los de arriba dichos era menester que captivasen de Atlixco o de Huexotzinco o de Tliliuhquitépec. Cualquiera que destos dichos captivaban hasta cinco, poníanlos entre los mayores y más honrados capitanes, por valientes y esforzados capitanes que se llamaba cuauhyácatl, que quiere decir "águila que guía". Y el señor a este tal le daba un barbote largo, verde, y borla para ponerse en la cabeza, con unas listas de plata entrepuestas en las plumas de la borla. Y también le daba orejeras de cuero, y una manta rica que se llamaba cuechintli. También le daba una manta que llamaban chicoapalnacazminqui; quiere decir "manta teñida de dos colores, la mitad de un color y la mitad de otro, de esquina a esquina". Y una manta con correas colgadas y atadas, sembradas por toda ella. Y si captivaba dos de Atlixco o de Huexotzinco, era este tal tenido por terrible y valentísimo, y dábanle un barbote largo de ámbar amarillo, y otro de chalchíhuitl verde, y usaba de ambos.

\nhe gained great honor. For this his name was that of a great, brave warrior—a great captain. Then Moctezuma gave him a long, blue labret and a head band with [two] tufts of [eagle] feathers,1 perchance with silver flint knives [between the eagle feathers], and leather ear plugs, and a bright red, rich, netting cape. And also he was then given a cape of two colors divided diagonally, and a leather cape.
\nAnd if he went to take two [captives] from Atlixco or2 Uexotzinco, then already he filled everyone with awe. Then they gave him a long, yellow labret; he required3 both the blue [and the yellow] long labrets.4
