English Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Nineteenth chapter, where it is said how the Spaniards ordered the Mexica to hold the festivity of Huitzilopochtli. But when this happened the Captain was not present, for at that time he went to the coast because of the arrival of Pánfilo de Narváez. And afterward [Pedro de Alvarado] requested the festivity of Huitzilopochtli, wanting to see and behold how his festivity was and what sorts of things were done. Thereupon Moteucçoma gave the orders; those of his subordinates who could still enter [where he was] brought out the announcement. And when the announcement came out from where Moteucçoma was detained, then the women who had fasted for a year ground up the amaranth, the fish amaranth, in the temple courtyard. [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Chapter Nineteen, of how the Spaniards ordered the Indians to hold the festivity of Huitzilopochtli; this was in the absence of the Captain, when he went to the port because of the arrival of Pánfilo de Narváez. When Captain don Hernando Cortés departed for the port to receive Pánfilo de Narváez, he left in his place, with the Spaniards who remained here in Mexico, don Pedro de Alvarado, who, in the absence of the Captain, encouraged Moteucçoma to order the festivity of Huitzilopochtli to be held, because they wanted to see how they performed these ceremonies. Moteucçoma ordered this festivity to be held to give pleasure to the Spaniards. Thus the satraps, as well as the leaders, prepared themselves to hold the festivity
