Anales de Tlatelolco (Berlin and Barlow 1980:16), with the conquest of Cuauhtitlan further supported by the Codex Mexicanus (Mengin 1952:444). However, both of these sources fail to note the conquests of these same locations during the reign of Huitzilihhuitl, as indicated by most of the sources. Thus, this listing probably represents a simple temporal misplacement of the same conquests and not actual reconquests at all.

37. García Icazbalceta 188692, 3:251; Ixtlilxóchitl 197577, 2:53; Torquemada 197583, 1:155 [bk. 2, chap. 19]. Tequixquiac is also widely attested as having been conquered during this reign (Barlow 1949b:121; Clark 1938, 1:29; Leyenda de los Soles 1975:128; Mendieta 1971:149). However, given the temporal confusion between his and the preceding reign, the logical fit it has with the earlier northern campaign, and its distance from any current conquests, there is a strong argument for placing it within the reign of Huitzilihhuitl, which is even more clearly the case with Cuauhtitlan.

For their aid in the Acolhua war, King Tetzotzomoc of Azcapotzalco gave the Aztecs the sites of Teopancalco, Atenchicalcan, and Tecpan (Anales de Cuanhtitlan 1975:37), identified as being near Cuitlahuac (Kelly and Palerm 1952:286n.1). Since these rewards were bestowed for having taken part in a campaign that began in the reign of Huitzilihhuitl (Torquemada 197583, 1:155 [bk. 2, chap. 19]), many of the conquests that occurred before the succession of Chimalpopoca but within the campaign ending in his reign, appear to have been restatements on the occasion of a new king's succession (García Icazbalceta 188692, 3:251), giving rise to a certain amount of confusion over credit.

54. There are also a number of anomalous "conquests" of this period. First, Ahuilizapan is listed (Berlin and Barlow 1980:16) but probably belongs to the reign of Huitzilihhuitl. Second, Xaltocan is also listed as a conquest but Torquemada (197583, 1:153 [bk. 2, chap. 18]) failed to list this conquest
