The Spanish text implies a distinction, which does not appear in the Nahuatl column, among tototlaqualtequachtli (first grade, fine, small capes, at 100 cacao beans), tequachtli (second grade, fine, small capes at 80), and quachtli (third grade, large capes, at 60—not the 65 mentioned in the Nahuatl text).↩
