El que es oficial de hacer esteras tiene muchas juncias o hojas de palma de que hace los petates. Y para hacellos, primero estiende los juncos en algún lugar llano para asolearlos, y escoge los mejores, y pónelos en concierto. Y de los petates que venden unos son lisos, pintados, y otros son de hojas de palma. Déstas también se hacen unos cestos que se llaman zoyatompliatli, que son como espuertas. Vende también unas esteras de juncias, gruesas y largas. Unos destos petates son bastos y ruines, y otros lindos y escogidos entre los demás. De los petates unos son largos y anchos, y otros cuadrados; otros largos y angostos, otros pintados. Hace también y vende unos asientos con espaldar, y otros para sentarse, que son cuadrados, y otras para cabeceras, que son cuadrados y largos; unos pintados y otros llanos, sin labor. El que no es buen oficial desto vende esteras hechas de juncias ruines y pudridas, dañadas.
\nEl que es oficial de hacer cestos de cañas macizas, o el que los merca para venderlos poco a poco, primero hiende las cañas y después de partidas entretéxelas. Dellas hace los cestos, texiéndolos muy bien, echándoles un bordo o orilla alrededor de la boca; unos hace redondos
