[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Twentieth chapter, where it is said how the Spaniards killed and annihilated the Mexica who were celebrating the feast of Huitzilopochtli at what they call the Teoithualco [Divine Courtyard, Courtyard of the Gods, temple courtyard]. When things were already going on, when the festivity was being observed and there was dancing and singing, with voices raised in song, the singing was like the noise of waves breaking against the rocks. When it was time, when the moment had come for the Spaniards to do the killing, they came out equipped for battle. They came and closed off each of the places where people went in and out: Quauhquiahuac, Tecpantzinco, Acatliyacapan, and Tezcacoac.

At the time that seemed opportune to them, the Spaniards came out from where they had been and took all the gates to the square so that no one could get out. Others entered with their weapons and began to kill those who were in the dance. They cut off the hands and heads of those who were playing instruments. They stabbed and lanced everyone they encountered, performing a very great slaughter. Those who ran fleeing to the gates were killed there. Some leaped over the walls. Some went into the chapels of the cus, where they lay down and played dead. Blood ran in the square
