de riquezas, y esto secretamente como espías que eran, disimuladas como mercaderes."
\nY después que murió el señor de México que llamaban Ahuitzotzin, fue electo por señor Motecuzo [ma], que era natural de Tenochtitlan. Como fue electo, guardaba las costumbres que tenían los mercaderes, y honrábalos, y particularmente honraba a los principales mercaderes y a los que trataban en esclavos, y los ponía cabe sí como a los generosos y capitanes de su corte, como lo habían hecho sus antepasados. Y los senadores que regían al Tlatilulco y los que regían a los mercaderes que regían a los otros mercaderes, tenían por sí su juridición y su judicatura. Y si alguno de los mercaderes hacía algún delito, no los llevaban delante los senadores a que ellos los juzgase, mas los mercaderes mismos que eran señores
