f. 2v., full page of text

This portion of text mentions the inhabitants of the town of San Bartolomé and the people of Xonacatlan (neighboring indigenous communities), who apparently came out to recognize the territory of this town, and so that all will know the location of the boundaries established by the king. So, “now and here” everything is set down about the foundation, the establishment of our town, so that the children (next generations) will know where they are located. This multiple page text all appears to be in the same hand, and the ink is a brown color. [SW]
