en las sienes un cuero amarillo, pintado con tiras de oro, y tiras de turquesas entrepuestas las unas a las otras. En las estremidades deste cuero colgaban unas avaneridas coloradas, entrepuestas unas piedras de espejo, y también unos cabellos entrepuestos a las avaneras y a las cuentas de espejo. Y por eso se llamaba petzotzocolli. Ataviados de la manera ya dicha, luego les hacían bailar o hacer areito sin cesar. Siempre traían unos sartales de flores y unas guirnaldas de flores. También traían sus rodelas de flores y sus cañas de humo, que andaban oliendo y chupando. De la misma manera ataviaban a las mujeres con sus huipiles y sus naoas y con sus cotaras nuevas, con sus flores y cañas de humo, y con sartales de flores y guirnaldas. Traían los cabellos atados unos cordones de algodón floxo, de muchos colores, colorados, amarillos, azules, negros, blancos, torcidos con pluma blanca. Estando con sus atavíos a la media noche, poníanlos en sus estrados de petates y icpales. Luego les daban comida y bebida, honrándolos mucho. Poníanlos en el zaguán de la puerta para que los viesen todos los convidados. Esto es lo que se dixo arriba que se publicaba el convite. Toda la noche comían y bebían los que iban y venían
