English Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] the gold on the shields and all the devices was taken off. And when all the gold had been detached, right away they set on fire, set fire to, ignited all the different precious things; they all burned. And the Spaniards made the gold into bricks. And they took as much of the greens tone as pleased them; as to the rest of the green stone, the Tlaxcalans just snatched it up. And [the Spaniards] went everywhere, scratching about in the hiding places, storehouses, places of storage all around. They took everything they saw that pleased them. Thereupon they went to the place where Moteucçoma stored his own things, where all his special property was kept, called Totocalco. [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] (intentionally blank)
