English Translation

[f. 12v.] Here at Cuetlahtepec Tetitlan there are 800 cords [mecatl in Nahuatl; mecates in Spanish] of land belonging to our venerable father […] with it [i.e. the proceeds from working this land] the fiesta [for the patron saint] is celebrated. XXXXX. [Note: The verb “tlalhuiquixtia” is found in Molina as “celebrar fiesta.” Here we have it in a reverential form with minor orthographic variances, such as “y” where we would expect “i.”]
