Any priest who got drunk was to be slain in the house where he became 
intoxicated, and to be beaten to death with clubs ; and the marriageable 
youth who got drunk was taken to a house known as tepuacali, where he 
was choked to death; and any person of importance who held public 
office and got drunk, was deprived of his position, and if he was a warrior 
they took away from him the title of valiant man. Ifa father lay with his 
daughter, both were to be strangled to death by a rope passed around both 
their throats. He who lay with his sister was to be strangled with the gar- 
rote, a crime they considered detestable; and if one woman lay with 
another, they strangled them with the garrote. Ifa pontiff was found with 
a woman, they slew him secretly with the garrote or burned him alive, 
tearing down his house, and forfeiting all his possessions, and all who 
knew the matter and kept silence about it and concealed it, were likewise 
put to death. There was no punishment for adulterers unless they were 
taken in flagrante delictu, in which case when caught they were stoned

CHAPTER TH. 
Whence originated the Lords of Tochimiteo. 
The beginning of these lords was one Yzcocutl who came from Tula, and 
dwelt in Atlivco where they received him for their ruler, and afterwards he 
left them and settled in Xwetectitl and Vepevcan, now known as Tuchomilco, 
and there he died. His wife was named Chimalmagi, and likewise she 
came from Tula. On his death his son Tonaltemitl succeeded him, whose 
wife was Qulpaloci, a native of Petlauca. On his death Qintlavilgs suc-

of Ouyuacan, and left sons, who, however, did not inherit his position. 
On Cintlavilgi’s death his two brothers, named Yateveyugi and (iva- 
coagi succeeded him in reign, and they held equal powers; their wives 
were natives of Vepetlavea. On the death. of these two lords they were fol- 
lowed in their seignory by two others, Cacamagi and Civacoagi ; Caca- 
maci was uncle of Civacoagi, who was the son of Yoteveyuc?, and their 
wives were natives of Vepetlavaca. . On the death of these two lords, Cua- 
pilé succeeded to the throne, and he was a grandson of Oivacvact; who was 
lord before the other two; and Quapili, while still living, made his son, 
Miwcoaci, ruler of a certain portion of the people ; the wives of the father 
and son were from Petlauca, and in the days of these came the Xpianos.* 
When these were dead, Don Miguel and Don Juan succeeded them, of 
whom Don Miguel was the more powerful; and he came to the seignory, 
because his uncle was Ouapili, and the former came forth in peace to the 
Christians, while the latter fled away. The Marquis made him lord with
