Acuecuéxatl es una fuente que está cerca de Coyohuacan que ham probado en tiempos pasados de traerla México para sustento de ciudad, y reventó tanta agua que anegó a la ciudad y a to lo pueblos que están en estos llanos. Otra vez, siendo visorrey don Gastón de Peralda, se probó de traerla a México, y se hizo harto gasto, e nunca pudieron traerla. Dexáronla y veniendo a guabernar el visorrey don Martín Enríquez, proveyó de agua a la ciudad de México con gran abundancia de la fuente de Sancta Fe, dejándose como agora lo vemos, muy proveída en este año de mil y quinientos y setenta y seis.
\nA la fuente que solía venir a México, con que se proveía la ciudad de agua ab antiquo, la llaman Chapoltépec, que quiere decir "monte como cigarra" o "como langosta", porquella nace al pie de un montecillo que parece langosta. El agua desta fuente es mala y no suficiente para el proveimiento de toda la ciudad. Por eso hizo don Martín Enríquez, visorrey, en procurar de traer la otra que arriba dixe.
\nA los pozos que son cavados debaxo de tierra y manan y sacan dellos agua, y no son muy profundos, llaman atlacomolli, porque son cavados debaxo de tierra. Sacan dellos agua para beber y para lo demás.
