[lla]ma chimalxúchitl, y en la izquierda otra, que se llama cuauhxúchitl. Y lleva aquélla en la mano derecha porque el que la ha de tomar tiene frontera su mano izquierda, y tómala como si fuese rodela, en la mano izquierda; y la otra que lleva la mano izquierda viene enfrente de la mano derecha, y tómala como quien toma espada.
\nTras esto llevan luego la comida, y llevan en la mano derecha el plato que se llama molcáxitl, en que lleva carne guisada con chilli. No le toma por la orilla, sino llévanle en el medio de la mano; y en la mano izquierda lleva un chiquí[hui]tl lleno de tamales. No le lleva trabado por la orilla, sino en medio de la palma. Luego, tras esto, sirven el cacao, que es lo postrero: en la mano derecha lleva la xícara, que se llama ayotectli; no la toca en la orilla, sino en la palma; y el palo para revolver el cacao, y también el rodeo para sentar la xícara, llévalo en la mano izquierda. Esto daban a los principales y señores: pero a los demás sirvíanlos con xícaras de barro.
