2. _Cipactonalla_, from _cipactli_, and _tonalli_, may refer to _Cipactonal_, the reputed discoverer of the Aztec calendar. See _Sahagun_, _Historia_, Lib. IV., cap. I. IX. _Xochiquetzal icuic._ 1. Atlayauican ni xochiquetzalli tlacya niuitza ya motencaliuan tamoanchan oay. 2. Ye quitichocaya tlamacazecatla piltzintecutlo quiyatemoaya ye xochinquetzalla xoyauia ay topa niaz, oay. _Var._ 2. Icotochiquetzalla. _Gloss._ 1. _Q.n._, ompa niuitz ynixochiquetzal tamoanchan. 2. _Q.n._, choca piltzintecutli quitemoa in xochiquetzal xoyauia no umpa niaz. _Hymn to Xochiquetzal._ 1. I, Xochiquetzal, go forth willingly to the dancing place by the water, going forth to the houses in Tamoanchan. 2. Ye noble youths, ye priests who wept, seeking Xochiquetzal, go forth there where I am going. _Notes._ _Xochiquetzal_, "plumage of flowers," was the deity of the artists, the painters, weavers, engravers on metal, silver and goldsmiths, and of all who dealt in fine colors. Her figure was that of a young woman with gay garments and jewelry (Duran, _Historia_, cap. 94). In the _Codex Telleriano-Remensis_ she is assigned as synonyms _Ichpochtli_, the Virgin, and _Itzpapalotl_, literally "the obsidian butterfly," but which was probably applied to a peculiar ornament of her idol. On _Tamoanchan_ see notes to Hymn IV. The term _atlayauican_, which I have translated "the dancing place by the water," appears to refer to the "jar dance," _baile de las jicaras_, which took place at the festival of the goddess, in the month of October. Duran informs us this was executed at a spot by the shore of the lake. Ceremonial bathing was carried on at the same festival, and these baths were considered to cleanse from sin, as well as from physical pollution. X. _Amimitl icuic._ 1.
