monasterio de calmécac.
\nY por esta causa, por la eleción que hacía, a uno se llamaba Quetzalcóatl, o otro nombre Tótec tlamacazqui. Y el otro se llamaba Tláloc tlamacazqui. Y en la eleción no se hacía caso del linaje, sino de las costumbres y exercicios y doctrinas y buena vida, si las tenían los sumos sacerdotes, si vivían castamente y si guardaban todas las costumbres que usaban los ministros de los ídolos: el que era virtuoso y humilde y pacífico y considerado y cuerdo, y no liviano, y grave y riguroso y celoso en las costumbres, y amoroso y misericordioso, y compasivo y amigo de todos, y devoto y temeroso de Dios.
\nLos grados por donde subía este tal son éstos: el primero, le llamaban tlamacazto; es como acólito; el segundo, le llamaban tlamacazqui, que es como diácono; el tercero le llaman tlenamácac, que es como sacerdote. Destos sacerdotes los mejores elegían por sumos pontífices, que se llamaban quequetzalcoa, que quiere decir "succesores de Quetzalcóatl". Y la vida que tenían y usaban los ministros de los ídolos era áspera; pero la crianza de los muchachos estaba partida y distinta en dos partes: la una era en la casa de calmécac y la otra en la casa de telpuchcalli.
