Al tiempo de comenzar el areito, ante todas cosas ofrecían flores y otras cosas al dios Huitzilopuchtli en su oratorio, en un plato grande de madero pintado, y después ofrecían en otras capillas de los ídolos. Una se llamaba Huitznáhuac; otra, Puchtlan; otra, Yopico; otra, Tlamatzinco. En los altares destas capillas ponían flores, y a la postre ponían flores en el oratorio de que hacía la fiesta. Y delante del atambor y teponaztli, en un estrado de heno que estaba delante del atambor y teponaztli, ponían flores que se llaman xuchicózcatl y icpacxúchitl, y ponían dos platos en que ponían dos cañas de perfumes, ardiendo. Esto era la media noche.
