Its names are also tepanchichi, and tepanmamal, and calxoch. This mouse is a little ashen, blackish, a little dark, rather yielding, a little soft. It is small and long; it has a tail, a long, little tail. It has a slender little muzzle. It is called tepanchichi because it lives in the walls [and] by the walls. It is called tepanmamal because it bores holes in, it penetrates walls—the house walls. It is called calxoch because it always lives in the house. Its food is maize. It eats ripe ears of maize, it eats chili, gourds, gourd seeds, and chía, and wrinkled chía; it eats chocolate [and] cacao beans. It indeed eats like a human being. It eats tunas, American cherries, etc. It eats tamales, tortillas; it eats raw meat, cooked meat, fish; it eats all that which is fetid. It grinds it up. It makes nests of grass, of soft grass. Also it hunts out articles of value. It gnaws, it shreds the capes, the precious feathers. Whatsoever is guarded as precious, it gnaws all; it damages all. No matter where it is, no matter if it is carefully guarded as precious, no matter how inaccessible the place, it enters, it damages the precious things. Hence also the eavesdropper is also called mouse, because no matter where, he continually enters the house, he hears and acquires the information and inquires into one’s affairs. Hence is said the saying, “I mouse him”; that is to say, “I eavesdrop on one.” [The eavesdropper] gnaws, frays [the information]. Thus is a mouse caught: the cat kills it; it is snared, it is trapped; it is poisoned with quimichpatli.
