Iten, eran altos, de más cuerpo que las que ahora viven, y por ser tan altos corrían y atrancaoan mucho, por lo que les llamaban tlancuacemilhuique, que quiere decir que corrían un día entero sin cansarse.
\nEran buenos cantores, y mientras cantaban o danzaban usaban atambores y sonajas de palo que llaman ayacachtli. Tañían y componían y ordenaban de su cabeza cantares curiosos. Eran muy devotos y grandes oradores. Adoraban a un solo señor que tenían por dios, al cual le llamaban Quetzalcóatl, cuyo sacerdote tenía el mismo nombre, que también le llamaban Quetzalcóatl, el cual era muy devoto o aficionado a las cosas de su señor y dios, y por esto tenido en mucho entre ellos. Y ansí, lo que les mandaba lo hacían y cumplían, y no excedían dello, y les solía decir muchas veces que había un solo señor y dios, que se decía Quetzalcóatl, y que no quería más que culebras y mariposas que le ofreciesen y diesen en su sacrificio. Y como los dichos tultecas en todo le creían y le obedecían, y no eran menos aficionados a las cosas divinas que su sacerdote, y muy temerosos de su dios y señor, fácilmente fueron persuadidos y convencidos por el dicho Quetzalcóatl para que saliesen del pueblo de Tulla.
