le llamaban Omecíhuatl, que quiere decir "dos veces señora". Los cuales dos así se llamaban para dar a entender que ellos dos señoreaban sobre los doce cielos y sobre la tierra, y decían que de aquel gran señor dependía el ser de todas las cosas, y que por su mandado de allá venía la influencia y calor con que se engendraban los niños o niñas en el vientre de sus madres.
\nY estos dichos tultecas eran buenos hombres y allegados a la virtud, porque no decían mentiras, y su manera de hablar y saludarse unos a otros era: "señor" y "señor hermano mayor" y "señor hermano menor", y su habla en lugar de juramento era: "es verdad", "así es", "así está averiguado", y sí por sí y no por no. Su comida dellos era el mismo mantenimiento que ahora se usa, del maíz, y le sembraban y beneficiaban, así lo blanco como el de las demás colores de maíz con que se sustentaban, y compraban y trataban con ello por moneda. Y su vestir era ropa o manta que tenía alacranes pintados de azul; su calzado era cotaras, también pintadas de azul, y de lo mismo eran sus correas.
