[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] and my device come to harm.” When he finished his statement, there was a clamor. Then fighting began, and [the enemy] came chasing [the Mexica]. In the marketplace, at Copalnamacoyan, the battle did not halt soon; it lasted a long time there. Once our enemies, the people of Tliliuhquitepec and Atetemollan, had a conference about us. They had already seen a narrow roadway going among the houses, the passageway of a nobleman named Tlacatzin. When our enemies went in there, the warriors pursued them. And a warrior, a seasoned warrior named Tlapanecatl, from Atezcapan, came to face them. Then our enemies quickly seized him. But the warriors hurled themselves upon our enemies, shooting arrows at them, and then they made those who had captured the warrior let him go. But then our enemies hit him on the thigh (at the place where it is bled [in ritual bleeding]). [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] and you will see him where he is, alive, for he placed himself there so you would see him." The lord of Cuitlahuac spoke and said, "Watch that you don't lose any of my adornments, jewels, and insignia, for I am alive." When the lord of Cuitlahuac said these words, the Indian friends of the Spaniards began to shout and combat the Mexica, and they forced them inside the tiánquiz where copal is sold; there the battle went on for a long while. Again our enemies, especially the Otomi of Tlaxcala along with many other captains, consulted about attacking and destroying us. They decided to enter along a street that was next to where San Martin is now; the street went straight to the house of a Tlatelolca pilli called Tlacatzin. Then the Tlatelolca went out to meet them, a captain called Tlappanecatl going ahead, but those who went with him hurled themselves at the enemy with great fury, and the captain called Tlappanecatl was captured and was being carried away prisoner, but he escaped, with a wound in a leg. For then the fighting stopped.
