This Mexican Codex, written in Nahuatl, is part of the so-called
Techialoyan Manuscripts. It is from Santa María de la Asunción
Tepexoyuca, near San Martín Ocoyoacac, in the Toluca Valley in the
State of Mexico, Mexico. The manuscript is an altepeamatl,"Village
Land Book" or tlalamatl, "Land Manuscript", which records the
territorial boundaries between the village of Tepexoyuca and its
neighbors and lists the toponyms of the boundary markers. The
manuscript signatories are eight key town figures at the time:
among them don Esteban Axayacatl, "captain", don Miguel Achcuey,
"fiscale", and don Simón de Santa María, "mayordomo".
