Y estos tales suelen ser codiciosos de dixes, y ansí las cosas que les parecen bonicas y graciosas codícianlas tanto que aunque no las hayan menester las compran.
\nEstos dichos otomíes eran polidos en sus traxes, y cuando vían traer a otros se ponían; aunque perteneciese solamente a los señores y principales lo tomaban y se lo vestían, y poniánselo tan mal y al desgaire que por aquello les llamaban por injuria otomíes. Y lo mismo hacían las mujeres que indiferentemente se ponían cualquiera ropa, y con todo esto no sabían ponerse bien las naguas ni el huipil. Y tanto querían polirse las mujeres, que las mozas por galanía se emplumaban con plumas coloradas los pies y piernas y brazos; y el rostro se afeitaban con un betún amarillo que llaman tecozáhuitl, y teñíanse los dientes
