A las estrellas que están en la boca de la Bocina llama esta gente citlalxunecuilli. Píntanlas a manera de ese revuelta. Siete estrellas dicen que están por sí apartadas de las otras, y que son resplandecientes. Llámanles citlalxunecuilli porque tienen seme[ja]nza con cierta manera de pan que hacen a manera de ese, al cual llaman xunecuilli, el cual pan se comía en todas las casas un día del año que se llama xuchílhuitl.
\nA aquellas estrellas que en algunas partes se llaman El Carro, esta gente las llama Escurpión, porque tienen figura de escurpión o alacrán. Y así se llaman en muchas partes del mundo.
\nEsta gente atribuía el viento a un dios que llamaban Quetzalcóatl, bien casi como dios de los vientos. Sopla el viento de cuatro partes del mundo por mandamiento deste dios, según ellos decían. De la una parte viene de hacia el oriente, donde ellos dicen estar el Paraíso Terrenal, al cual llaman Tlalocan.
