English Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] it was as though they had fallen off a precipice; they all fell and dropped in, the Tlaxcalans, the people of Tliliuhquitepec, and the Spaniards, along with the horses, and some women. The canal was completely full of them, full to the very top. And those who came last just passed and crossed over on people, on bodies. When they reached Petlacalco, where there was yet another canal, they passed gently, slowly, gradually, with caution, on the wooden platform. There they restored themselves, took their breath, regained their vigor. When they reached Popotlan, it dawned, light came. They began to go along with spirit, they went heading into the distance. Then the Mexica went shouting at them, surrounding them, hovering about them. They captured some Tlaxcalans as they went, and some Spaniards died. Also Mexica and Tlatelolca were killed; [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] teuctli. All of them were going along guiding the Spaniards, and the enemies killed them. The Spaniards reached a place called Otonteocalco; there they took shelter in the courtyard and regained their strength, because the Mexica Indians had already gone back to pick up the spoils. There the Otomis of the settlement of Teocalhueyacan approached them to receive them peacefully, and they gave them food.
