dios prenuncio de la muerte de los que habían de sacrificar delante de los dioses. Primero llegaba corriendo al lugar a donde estaban estos que habían de ser sacrificados. Iba de Tenochtitlan al Tlatilulco, y dallí pasa por el barrio que se llama Nonoalco, y Popotlan. Dallí iba al lugar que se llamaba Mazatzintamalco, y dallí a Chapultépec, y dallí a Mazatlan, y dallí iba por el camino que va derecho a Xoloco, que es junto a México, y luego entraba en Tenuchtitlan. Y cuando este Painalton iba andando estas estaciones, llevaban a los esclavos que habían de morir al barrio de Coatlan, donde estaba el lugar donde habían de pelear con cierta gente que estaban aparejados para pelear con ellos, que se llamaba tlaamahuiaya. Esto era en el patio del templo que se dice Huitzcalco. Como llegaban los esclavos aparejados de guerra, salían también aquellos tlaamahuique de guerra contra ellos. Y comenzaban a pelear contra ellos muy deveras los que eran más valientes de aquellos tlaamahuiques. Y si aquestos captivaban por fuerza de armas a alguno de los esclavos, en el mesmo lugar daban por sentencia el precio que valía el esclavo, y habíalo de pagar el mesmo dueño del esclavo, que es el que hacía la fiesta. Y dado el precio, volvíanle su esclavo. Y si no tenía con qué pagarle, después de muerto comíanle aquellos que le habían captiva[do]
