llevaba para esto, y ponía delante dellos un petate, y ponía papeles encima del petate, delante de los báculos. Los báculos eran señal del número de los esclavos que había de matar. Si ponía dos, era señal que había de matar un hombre y una mujer; y si ponía cuatro báculos, era señal que había de matar dos hombres y dos mujeres. Y cubría los baculos con mantas, unas que se llaman coyoichcatilmatli tetecomayo, con unas flocaduras de pluma puestas en las orillas. Ponían también mastles de cabos largos, que llaman yacahuíac. Ponían también en el báculo que significaba la mujer unas naoas que se llamaba tetenacazco o chicocuéitl, y un huipilli sembrado de flores labradas. Todo esto lo ponían delante la imagen de Yacatecuhtli, para que en aquello conociesen que con aquellos atavíos había de ataviar a los esclavos que había de matar. Y con aquéllos significaba que el convite había de ser muy costoso, y lo que en él se había de dar muy precioso. Y esto para provocar a los convidados. Después que el sobredicho hubo hecho la ofrenda deIante del dios Yacatecuhtli, luego iba a la casa de los mercaderes tlatilulcanos que en este pueblo habitaban, y luego mandaba a hacer comida y bebida. Y estando todo aprestado, llamaba a los mercaderes ricos y tratantes en esclavos. Llamaba a todos los mercaderes que habitaban en doce pueblos. Los convidados venían a la media noche a la casa del convite.
\nEstando ya todos juntos, dábanlos aguamanos. Y luego los servían la comidas y comían todos. Acabada la comida, otra vez lavaban las manos y la boca, y luego
