Frances Karttunen: 

-NELTOCOCĀ necessarily possessed form the faith others have in one / la fé con que me creen (C for first person possessor) [(2)Cf.48v]. S has neltococayotl 'faith, belief.' C distinguishes between -NELTOCŌCĀ, the faith others have in one, and TLANELTOQUILIZ-TLI, the faith one has in something else, which is the general distinction between nonactive derivations in -CĀYŌ-TL and active ones in -LIZ-TLI. See NELTOCA.
