Reading edition

Sahagun specifies 78 edifices in connection with the great Temple, among these are “No. 72, named Itepeioc, a house where the Chieftains make the image of Vitzilopuchtli out of dough [masa],” and “No. 73, the building named Vitznoacealpulli, which is the house where they make the image of the other God, the companion of Vitzilopuchtli, named Tlacavepancuexcozin.” It thus appears that the two “barrios” or districts mentioned were sections of the Temple enclosure.
