[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Twenty-fifth chapter where it is said how the people of Teocalhueyacan came in peace to meet the Spaniards, when they fled from Mexico, and gave them food. Tlacateuctli was the [official] name and Otoncoatl the personal name of the leader of those who came there to deliver food. They laid down before the Captain white tortillas, turkey hens, roast turkey, boiled turkey, eggs, and some live turkey hens, as well as some tuna cactus fruit.

With the Spaniards lodged as said above, the Otomis of Teocalhueyacan came with their leader, named Otoncoatl, bringing food to the Spaniards, who were in great need. They gave them many tortillas, roasted and stewed fowl, and other kinds of food, and they spoke to Captain don Hernando Cortés, greeting him peacefully and asking that they should rest and eat. Then the Captain spoke to them with the Indian woman Marina as interpreter, asking them where they were from. They said that they were from the settlement of Teocalhueyacan. Then when the Captain was informed how far their setdement was, he told them, "tomorrow we will go to sleep the night at your setdement." They expressed their thanks because he wished to go to their settlement. After the Captain with the Spaniards and the friends had reached this fort that was mentioned,
