English Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] they buried them, buried them in the ground. Here are the days that have passed since the Spaniards entered Mexico on the day count One Wind and the year count One Reed, one day before the tenth day of [the month of] Quecholli. When they had been here a day, it was Two House, exactly the tenth day of Quecholli. And on the very day that the end of Quecholli arrived, Panquetzaliztli followed after it, for twenty days; then Tititl followed it, also for twenty days; then Izcalli, the end [of the year], followed, also for twenty days. Then at that time were put five days called Nemontemi, and at the end of the five days began Atl cahualo, or Quahuitl ehua, when the year is taken hold of and the new year begins, also twenty days; then followed [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] and for the many who had been left dead in Mexico, Spaniards as well as Tlaxcalan Indians. The Spaniards healed their wounds and gathered strength in the city of Tlaxcala for more than half a year. There were too few of them to give battle to the Mexica again. During this interval a Francisco Hernández, Spaniard, arrived in Tlaxcala with three hundred Spanish soldiers and many horses, weapons, pieces of artillery, and munitions. With this, Captain don Hernando Cortés and those who were with him, having escaped from the war, took courage to outfit themselves again and conquer Mexico back.
