fuesen captivos, porque se servían dellos como de esclavos. A su rey todos le tenían reverencia y respecto, y le obedecían en todo, conociéndole por su señor los demás señores y principales de su provincia, y dándole tributo todos los indios en reconocimiento del vasallaje. Y no era menor que el rey de México.
\nEste nombre mexícatl se decía antiguamente mecitli, componiéndose me, que es metl, por el maguey, y de citli por la liebre. Y ansí se había de decir mecícatl, y mudando la c en x, corrúmpese y dícese mexícatl. Y la causa del nombre, según lo cuentan los viejos, es que cuando vinieron los mexicanos a estas partes traían un caudillo y señor que se llamaba Mecitli, al cual luego después que nació le llamaron Citli, "liebre", y porque en lugar de cuna lo criaron en una penca grande de un maguey, de ahí adelante llamóse Mecitli, como quien dice "hombre criado en aquella penca del ma[guey”.]

And the reason for this name, according to what the elders tell, is that when the Mexicans came to these regions, they brought a lord and leader who was called Mecihtli, and he was called Cihtli, “hare,” as soon as he was born.
