48 University of California Publications in Am. Arch, and Ethn. [Vol. 17 Plate 18 In the year 4 cane (1483 A. D. ) Axayacatzin died and they elected Ticocic ruler. In this year the first stone was placed for the building of the great temple which the Christians found when they came to the land. In the year 5 knife (1484 A. D. ) the people of Cinacantepec, who were subject to the Mexicans, rose in rebellion. The Mexicans marched against them and caused such ravage that hardly a man remained aliv...e. They brought them to the temple and sacrificed them before the great Cu (temple), which was not yet finished at that time. All the old people say that this was the first human sacrifice which took place in their country and that up to that time they had sacrificed only animals and birds. This punishment and chastisement (namely sacrificing their enemies) was begun to strike terror into the hearts of their enemies, so that while they were subjugating the country the people (whom they had conquered) might fear (to rise in revolt).
