English Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] We have come from Teocalhueyacan,which is his home; we are people of Teocalhueyacan.”Then Marina replied, “Very well, and many thanks. We will go there tomorrow and stay the night.” And then just as dawn broke and daylight came, [bodies] were removed. They removed all the Tlaxcalans, Cempoalans, and Spaniards who had fallen into the Tolteca canal and at Petlacalco or Mictlantonco. They were removed in boats. They went and flung them out in the stands of white rushes, among the white rushes, in the stands of reeds, in the midst of the reeds, forking them with spears, flinging them away. They also threw down the women, naked, yellow, [yellow all over?]; they stripped all the women, took everything from them, spilled out what they had, left them lying bare. But the Spaniards [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] the Mexica began to remove the people, Spaniards as well as Tlaxcalans and Cempohualans, who had drowned in the canal named Toltecaacaloco and in the one named Petlacalco and in the one named Mictlantonco. They took them out, stripped them, and threw them naked among the reeds and rushes so that the birds and dogs would eat them, there. They threw the Spaniards in another place, separately. They recognized that they were bearded and had very white bodies. They also dispersed and stole [what was on] the horses that had drowned and all the loads they carried; they took all the weapons they found; they also took the firearms they found and spilled out all the powder there was.
