preted as a variant of e, as occurs in other words, then the name would be Tezoc, which would derive from te-zo, "to bleed someone, to draw blood by piercing or sticking someone." Thus, the name would mean "He-has-bled-people," "He-has-pricked-people [or someone],'' or "He-pricked-people [or someone)." This interpretation is supported by the name glyph for this king, which shows a leg that has been punctured by a thorn. The reading is still uncertain, however, and I present it cautiously. Moreover, I have retained the traditional spelling of Tizoc throughout. |

13. As an example, Tzapotlan and Tochpan are not recorded as having been conquered, but they began paying tribute to Tenochtitlan at this time, an act of submission, doubtless as a result of this campaign (Chimalpahin 1965:107 [relación 3]). |

14. Part of the route to the Metztitlan region is known. Marching separately from their home cities, the allied armies met at Tetzontepec, a site easily accessible to all the assembled forces via valley floors. The combined army then marched through the previously conquered towns of Tecpantepec and Atocpan to Atotonilco, also a previous conquest. From there the route is uncertain, but it led to the head of the Metztitlan Valley. The Aztecs' return trip was quick and doubtless retraced the outward route. |
