to seek a country to settle in, and being united they took for captain and 
war-chief one named Frqualtlatlangui, and they took the names of the 
old towns and places they had left, and gave them to new ones in the 
country to which they immigrated. It is ‘said that the following people 
went with them, and each one took its own god which it worshiped, and 
the manner of its own temple, for in each one the service was different, 
and no, one was identical with another, for which reason they are painted 
dissimilar; and so there went forth with them those of Qulwacan, which 
was the principal city, and was placed in the new settlement distant two 
leagues from the one whence they populated it as they came, of which 
more will be said in the hereafter. They took their gods, named (inteul, 
son of Pingetecli, Suchimulco™ went with them, taking his god named Que- 
lazcl, who was the stag of Méacoatl** as has been told; <Atdtlalabaca, 
went forth with his god Amémicl’, which was a rod of Mixcoatl whom they 
reverenced as a god, and carried that rod in memory of him ; Mizquique, 
went forth with Quicreoatl as his god; Ohalco* went forth with Tezcatli- 
puca napatecti for his god. The people went forth of Tacuba, and Culu- 
can and Ascapugalco, which was called Tenpanecas,*® and these took as their 
god Ocotecli, which is fire, and for this reason they are accustomed to con- 
sume in the fire all whom they capture in war. These people, say the Mexi- 
cans, and no more sallied forth, although those of Zwzeuco"", and Tascala 
and Guejogingo boast and vaunt themselves that they too came when the 
others came from Mexico, and are also of that land. All these people with 
their gods set out in this first year, which was tecpalt, and there went 
forth of them forty bands. 
CHAPTER 111TH. 
Of the Road they journeyed and of the Places they went, and of the Time 
they tarried in each Place where they were. 
All having departed they came to two lofty mountains, in whose midst 
they encamped and remained there two years, and as the days are not 
painted that they occupied in reaching this spot, nothing appears more 
clearly than that up to the time of their resting in these sierras they 
reckon one year, and two years they spent there sowing what they had to 
eat and carry off with them, and here they erected their first temple to 
Vehilobo, according as they had done in that city. 
These two mountains stood opposite each other, and their habitation was 
in their middle. 
After three years had passed since their departure from Astla (sic), from 
when the Mexicans came forth, as has been told, they left the place or site 
of the two hills where they had remained two years, after having built a 
temple to Uchilogos (sic), as has been said, and came to a valley where 
there were many great trees, which they named Quausticaca,* on ac- 
count of the many pine trees that were there, and there they stayed a 
year, which completed the four years since they had left their homes,
