[nom]bra, en donde pregonaba un pregonero para llamar a los pueblos apartados, los cuales distan más de cient leguas, que se nombra Anáhuac, y desde allá oían y entendían el pregón, y luego con brevedad venían a saber y oír lo que mandaba el dicho Quetzalcóatl.
\nY más dicen, que era muy rico, y que tenía todo cuanto era menester y necesario de comer y beber, y que el maíz era abundantísimo, y las calabazas muy gordas, de una braza en redondo, y las mazorcas de maíz eran tan largas que se llevaban abrazadas, y las cañas de bledos eran muy largos y gordos, y que subían por ellas como por árboles, y que sembraban y cogían algodón de todas colores, que son colorado y encarnado y amarillo y morado, blanquecino y verde y azul y prieto y pardo y naranjado y leonado: y estos colores de algodón eran naturales, que así se nacían. Y más dicen que en el dicho pueblo de Tulla se criaban muchos y diversos géneros de aves de pluma rica y colores diversas, que se llaman xiuhtótotl y quetzaltótotl y zacuan y tlauhquéchol y otras aves que cantaban dulce y suavemente.
\nY más, tenía el dicho Quetzalcóatl todas las riquezas del mundo, de oro y plata y piedras verdes que se llaman chalchihuites, y otras cosas preciosas, y mucha abundancia de árboles
