Hacían fiesta a estos dioses dos veces cada año: una vez en el mes que se llama panquetzaliztli, y otra vez en el mes que se llama tlaxuchimaco. En el mes de panquetzaliztli mataban a la imagen de Cóyotl Ináhual. Si en esta fiesta no se ofrecía quién matase algunos esclavos, que se llamaban tlaaltiltin, estos amantecas se juntaban todos y compraban un esclavo para matar a honra deste dios. Comprábanle con mantas que se llamaban cuachtli, que eran allegadas como de tributo. Empero, si alguno destos amantecas hacía fiesta por sí y mataba algunos esclavos, déstos mataban uno a honra deste dios Cóyotl Ináhual. Componíanle a este con todos atavíos de aquel dios, como arriba se dixeron. Y si era alguna persona de caudal este que hacía fiesta, mataba dos o tres o más esclavos que se llamaban tlaaltiltin a honra de aquellos dioses. Y si no era persona de caudal, mataba uno a honra de aquel dios que se llama Cóyotl Ináhual.
