eyes, those who had shot at the figure, sought to find it, and finding it 
they ate it up, dividing it up among them all; and so it was performed, 
and they all came together and settled in Zatiluleo, which was a small 
island, and is now known as the suburb of Santiago. In this first year in 
which the Mexicans came to the aforesaid place, Vehilogos appeared to one 
of them named Jiunche, and told him that his home was to be in this 
spot, and that the Mexicans would not have to wander any farther, and he 
should tell them that when it was morning they should go seck a man of 
Culuacan, because he had abused them, and take him and sacrifice him, and 
give him to the sun to eat. So Xomemitleuts went forth and found a man 
of Culuacan named Chichilquautli, and sacrificed him to the sun on going 
out; and they named this place Quanmiwtlitlan,’® which afterwards was 
called Tenustitan, because they found there a wild fig tree grown on a 
stone, and the roots thereof grew forth out of the place where lay buried 
the heart of Copil as has been already narrated, 
CHAPTER 
In the second year of the settlement of Mexico the Mexicans began to lay 
the foundations of the large and important temple of Vehdlogos, which 
kept on increasing at a great rate, for every ruler of the dwellers in 
Mexico who succeeded another in power added to it a building equally as 
large as the original one which the first inhabitants had erected there ; and 
this the Spaniards found very tall and strong and broad, and it was much 
to look at. 
In these days the Mexicans had for their ruler Jiancweitl, a woman of 
importance who had power over them ; and she was the wife of Acama- 
pichi,” a native of Culwacan, and she was of Coatlixan, and although of 
OCuluacan, descended from the Mexicans, for her mother married there one 
of the chief men of Culuacan, and the mother was a Mexican; and her 
husband, at the suggestion of his wife, came to Mexico, and she told them 
that as he was of the best family and they had no lord, they should take 
liim for their ruler, and so he was the first ruler, and his wife died in 
twenty-fourth year after the foundation of Mexico ; and after her death 
they chose him for lord because in her life he was only looked 
upon as the chief man ;°° three years before this, which was reck- 
oned as twenty-one years from the foundation of Mexico, the Mexicans 
made war upon the people of Culuacan, and burnt their temple. In the 
next year, the twenty second from the foundation of the city, the Culua- 
cans took notice of the great progress the Mexicans had made in those 
twenty-two previous years, and were smitten with fear, and placed their 
gods in a canoe with which they went to Suchimitco ; and when they had 
reached the town of QOuantlecaatan, the sun shone forth with so much 
brilliancy that his rays struck them blind, and so they could not see until 
they had come close to Mexico ; and when they kad recovered their sight 
they placed their gods ih Mexico, and built for them a small temple a 
short distance further on than the place where now stand the shambles.
