\nHay una culebra que se llama tzicanantli, porque dicen que es madre de las hormigas. Es cruesa y críase en los hormigueros, en lo profundo dellos. Es pintada de todas colores. Es espantosa.
\nHay otras hormigas que llaman tzicatana. Críanse en las tierras calientes y destruyen los árboles y cuanto hay. Andan en escuadrones, como gente de guerra. Y llámanlas también tepehuani; quiere decir "destruidoras".
