ceremony of fhe marriage consisted in 
tying one corner of the young man’s 
garment, /, to a corner of that of the 
girl, m. They offered to their divinities, 
by way of sacrifice, the incense of co- 
pal, qy which they burned in a vase. 
Two old men, r, and two old women, 
riy V, served as witnesses. The newly 
married couple afterward ate the 
provision set before them, and drank 
out of cups, t, pulquCy represented by 
the pot, s. The old men and women 
also ate; and, after the repast, each 
separately exhorted the young married 
persons to live happily together ”

public, or in private. His wife, g, has 
the same privilege, if she be a grand- 
mother.”
