__________ v In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen. Jesus. I am Esteban Diego, my tlaxilacalli being Santo Domingo Huexotitlan. v The first item I declare is that I am giving the house where I lie, which faces Tacuba, to my children and their mother, who is to raise them there, since they are still little boys who cannot yet take care of themselves. My order is by no means to be violated; a mass is to be dedicated to my father [in return for their getting the house]. v The second item I declare is that I am giving my purchased land at Chimalchiuhcan to my children Domingo Josef and Juan Mateo; the two are to share it. My order is by no means to be violated. v The third item I declare is that [with] another 20 [units] of purchased land that my mother gave me, [with magueyes?], likewise at Chimalchiuhcan, I have not yet had a mass held, [though] I was going to have a mass held, but now my children are to have a mass said [for my mother?], and I am giving them the land. v Fourth, I declare that I am giving a row of magueyes to my dear father Santo Domingo and my dear honored mother [Solitaria? Soledad?]; the two are to share it; [. . . ] there with entryway. v Fifth, I declare that the aforementioned magueyes will be divided in two; [one part] will belong to me and my mother whom God took. If I die, a mass is to be said with it for us; it will be divided. [Translation by James Lockhart]
