Antiq., vol. ix., p. 371, states that the sacrifices on the fourth day consisted of five to six slaves, on the tenth of one, on the eightieth of three. 'Le cinquième on sacrifiait plusieurs esclaves, et cette immolation se répétait encore quatre fois, de dix en dix jours.' Brasseur de Bourbourg, Hist. Nat. Civ., tom. iii., p. 574. Duran, Hist. Indias, MS., tom. i., cap. xiv., xxxix., mentions a fast of eighty days, at the end of which a statue was made, like one which he states was burned with the corpse, and to this exactly the same ceremonies were paid as to the defunct, the statue being burned with an equally large number of slaves as before. The fullest descriptions of royal obsequies are given in Torquemada, Monarq. Ind., tom. ii., pp. 521-3; Veytia, Hist. Ant. Mej., tom. iii., pp. 3-11; Clavigero, Storia Ant. del Messico, tom. ii., pp. 95-8; Gomara, Conq. Mex., fol. 309-10; Brasseur de Bourbourg, Hist. Nat. Civ., tom. iii., pp. 571-4; Duran, Hist.

[860] After describing the robing of drunkards and others, Gomara says: 'Y finalmente a cada oficial dauan el traje del idolo de aquel oficio,' which certainly indicates that a drowned or besotted artisan would wear the mantle due to his position in life as well as that due to his manner of death. Conq. Mex., fol. 309. Clavigero, Storia Ant. del Messico, tom. ii., pp. 93-4, uses the following expression: 'Vestivanlo d'un abito corrispondente alla sua condizione, alle sue facoltà, ed alle circostanze della sua morte.'

[866] Sahagun intimates that the puppet was for those who were slain by enemies, but adds, afterwards, that a puppet was burned with the same ceremonies in the court of the house, if they died at home.
