Principal English Translation: 

12th ruler of Culhuacan; son of (the second) Tezozomoctli; Pitzotzin succeeded his father as ruler of Culhuacan; Pitzotzin's brother, don Baltasar Toquezquauhyotzin succeeded Pitzotzin as ruler of Culhuacan, and it was with the brother that the rulership in Culhuacan ceased (after the Spanish invasion and occupation of Mexico); all according to Chimalpahin; such a genealogy links pre-contact with Spanish colonial times
