[f. 2v.] here is the sun’s rising place [the East]. And in order that it appears how this altepetl of our precious father was established, here it is manifested in black. It is in the time of the rulership of the great ruler, our lord Axayacatl. It was already when here we bowed down in this altepetl called Ocoyacac. And today, here, upon us arrived the faith [and] our precious father San Martín is kept. Our ruler humbled us. We were given land. All here in the palace, in this town document, it appears where the land is. [SW]
