[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] They said, 'If you have really come from Mexico, here is what you are to give to the ruler Moteucçoma, whereby he will recognize us.'" They told him everything [the Spaniards] had told them out on the water. And Moteucçoma said to them, “You are doubly welcome; take your rest. What I have seen is a secret. No one is to say anything, to let it escape from his lips, to let a word slip out, to open his mouth, to mention it, but it is to stay inside you.” [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] are these beads; give them to Moteucçoma so that he will know us."' And they told him everything that had happened when they were with them in the ships on the sea. Moteucçoma replied, saying to them, "You come tired and worn out; go and rest. I have received this in secret; I order you not to say anything to anyone about what has happened."
