[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] they said to them, “Very well, we thank you. You are doubly welcome here. Do help the altepetl, let an attempt be made.” Then they made them presents, giving them devices and shields, and they gave them cacao, giving a broad gourd of cacao to each. Then they said to them, “Come on, let the attempt be made, oh warriors, for our enemies are coming!” Then the messengers went where the Cuitlahuac people were whom they had brought. And when they went, the clamor grew everywhere on the road. Then there was fighting. But these Xochimilco people, though then they too set up a clamor and hurled themselves in their boats, did not help us at all, but started snatching people. They snatched the women and little children and also the old women; [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] to fight." Then they gave them weapons to fight with, and they gave them much cacao, and then they put them in the place in which they were to do battle. Once in their places, they all began to fight. But the Xochimilca began to rob around the houses, where there were only women and children, and old women. They killed some of the women and children and old women and put others in the canoes to carry off as slaves. Some Mexica soldiers saw what was going on and advised the captains. Then they went against them by water and by land and began to kill some of them and take captives. They destroyed and killed them all, and of the women and children and old women they had captured, and the plunder, they got away with nothing. After the battle the Spaniards retired to their quarters. [The Mexica] took the Xochimilca, Cuitlahuaca, Mexicatzinca, people of Itztapalapan, etc., whom they had captured before Quauhtemoctzin, who was in a place called Yacacolco, in Tlatelolco, where now there is a church of Santa Ana. They told Quauhtemoctzin and Mayehuatzin of the treachery performed by the Xochimilca
