But it could not be done, for the commoners of Amaquemecan and Tlalmanalco made a complaint about it (...) the commoners provided formal proof of how the mountain is really their property (...) the friars and the Spaniards became witnesses for the Chalca commoners (...) the Company of Jesus abandoned [their plans] and withdrew. Because of that the commoners likewise dropped their suit and did not finish it; the papers of the suit were left in the palace archive (central Mexico, 1615)
