[almen]dras mete una masa negra o cera negra que parece sea semejante al meollo dellas, y algunas veces los cuescos de aguacates los hacen pedazos, y redondéalos, y ansí redondeados los meten en las cáscaras vacías de las almendras; y las que son menuditas o pequeñitas, todas las mezcla, o las envuelven con las otras almendras, que son cenicientas o frescas, y aun con las otras bastardas que parecen ser también cacaos, que tienen por nombre cuauhptlachtli, lo cual hace para engañar a los que compra.
\nEl que vende maíz suele ser labrador o lo compra de los labradores para tornallo a vender. El que es buen tratante en este oficio, el maíz que vende es limpio, gordo, sin alguna falla, recio y macizo y duro, y cada genero de maíz véndelo por sí: el blanco, el prieto o el envuelto uno con otro, el blando, el amarillo; y por sí el maíz del valle de Tulucan, y el maíz de otros pueblos, ora sea en grano que sea blando, que sea macizo, cada cosa por sí vende.
