hay unas tierras pedregosas o cascaxosas y ásperas y secas, y llámanlas tetlalli, que quiere decir "tierra pedregosa" o "cascaxosa". Hácese bien el maíz, y llámanle tecintli.
\nHay unas tierras que tienen mucho en sí la humedad del agua, y por esto son fértiles, y llámanlas techiáhuitl, que quiere decir "temperosa".
\nHa una tierra pegaxosa que es buena para hacer barro o adobes. Llámanla tlaltzauctli, que quiere decir "tierra pegaxosa", como tzauctli. Es la misma que arriba se llama tezóquitl.
\nLa tierra donde se hace espadañas y juncos, y que es tierra hueca y húmeda, casi a manera de ciénaga, que andando sobre ella parece que se sume la misma tierra, llámanla tlalcocomoctli. Es tierra para sembrar, y fértil.
