En este capítulo se comienza a tratar de los oficiales que labran oro y plata. Los oficiales que labran oro son de dos maneras: unos dellos se llaman martilladores o majadores, porque éstos labran oro de martillo, majando el oro con piedras o con martillos para hacerlo delgado como papel. Otros se llaman tlatlaliani, que quiere decir que "asientan el oro", o alguna cosa en el oro o en la plata. Éstos son verdaderos oficiales, que por otro nombre se llaman tulteca. Pero están divididos en dos partes, porque labran el oro cada unos de su manera. Tenían por dios estos oficiales de oro, en tiempo de su idolatría, a un dios que se llamaba Tótec. A este dios hacían fiesta cada año en el cu que se llamaba Yopico, en el mes que se llama tlacaxipehualiztli. En esta fiesta de tlacaxipehualiztli, donde desollaban muchos captivos, y por cuya causa se llama tlacaxipehualiztli, que quiere decir "desollamiento de personas", uno de los sátrapas vestíase un pellejo de los que habían quitado a los captivos. Y así vestido era imagen deste dios llamado Tótec. A éste, vestido con el pellejo que habían quitado al otro captivo, habían sacrificado, llamábanle Tótec, y ponían sus ornamentos muy
