[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Twenty-second chapter, where it is said how it became known that Captain don Hernando Cortés was on the way here, coming back to Mexico. It became known that the Captain was on the way here, coming from the direction of Tepeyacac; he brought many Spaniards and a great many Tlaxcalans and people of Cempoallan.

[Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Chapter Twenty-two, of how news came that Captain don Hernando Cortés had bested Panfilo de Narváez and was already returning in the direction of Mexico with many Spaniards who had newly arrived. With things being in the state said above, news came that Captain don Hernando Cortés was coming in great haste with many Spaniards and many Indians of Cempohuallan and Tlaxcala, all armed and ready for war. The Mexica agreed among themselves that they would all hide and not come out to meet them, either with hostilities or in peace. The Spaniards with all of their friends went straight toward the royal palace, where the Spaniards were. The Mexica were all looking, hidden so the Spaniards would not see them. They did this to let it be understood that they had not begun the war. When the Captain and all the other people entered the
