[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Thirty-third chapter, where it is said how the chinampa people, those of Xochimilco, Cuitlahuac, Itztapalapan, and others, came as though to help the Mexica. Once it happened that the people of Xochimilco, Cuitlahuac, Mizquic, Colhuacan, Mexicatzinco, and Itztapalapan sent messengers who came to talk with Quauhtemoctzin and other warrior rulers, saying to them, “My lords, we have come to give a little help to the altepetl. Perhaps in this way the words of the rulers who are still in charge there will come true, for the rulers [i.e, other prominent people] are here, the eagle and jaguar [brave] warriors have come assembled in boats. It is said that now they will repel all our enemies.” And when [the messengers] had had their say and [the Mexica] had consulted, [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] Chapter Thirty-three, of how the Chinampaneca, who are from Xochimilco, Cuitlahuac, and Itztapalapan, etc., came in succor of the Mexica. With things in the state told above, the Chinampaneca, who include Xochimilco, Cuitlahuac, Mizquic, Itztapalapan, Mexicatzinco, etc., came to give aid to the Mexica and Tlatelolca, who were all fortified in Tlatelolco. On arrival they spoke to the lord of Mexico, called Quauhtemoctzin, and to other leaders who were with him. The captains addressed him, saying, "Our lord, we have come to aid you in this time of necessity, and we have been sent for this purpose by our elders to pay the debt we owe. For this purpose we have brought the best soldiers we have among us, who are present here, to help on water and on land." Hearing this, the lord of Mexico and the others said, "We appreciate what the lords are doing in sending you in our succor. Prepare yourselves
