Also its name is “priestess,” and its name is “little old woman.” It is named mapachitli because its hands are quite like our hands; likewise, its feet are quite like our feet. It destroys maize in summer, as if it ground it up and ate it all. Since it has really human hands, it climbs trees, it climbs the nopal. It eats up American cherries, fruit, tunas, honey. A cave is its dwelling; in forests, crags, the water, among reeds, everywhere it lives. Wherever it feels comfortable, there it lives. In the winter it eats mice, salamanders, [small] animals. Since it has really human hands [and] feet, sometimes it goes upright when it walks. And since it is a great thief, since it takes everything that it sees, and since it has human hands, a thief is also called mapachitli. It is wide, broad-footed; it has feet with soles—soles like a man’s [and] hands like a man’s. It is small, squat, cylindrical; tangle-haired; it has a dark tail, arched, long; it is large-headed, with pointed ears, with large muzzle, [or] a thin, thinnish one, a soft one.
