Al séptimo mes llamaban tecuhilhuitontli. En este mes hacían fiesta y sacrificios a la diosa de la sal, que llamaban Huixtocíhuatl. Era la diosa de los que hacen sal. Decían que era hermana de los dioses de la pluvia, y por cierta desgracia que hubo entre ellos y ella la persiguieron y desterraron a las aguas saladas, y allí inventó la sal, de la manera que agora se hace, con tinajas y con amontonar la tierra salada. Y por esta invención la honraban y adoraban los que trataban en sal.
\nLos atavíos desta diosa eran de color amarilla, y una mitra con muchos plumajes verdes que salían della, como penachos alto, que del aire
