Book
11
of
the
Florentine
Codex
It
is
black,
like
rubber,
smooth,
slippery,
very
smooth,
long
tailed
and
it's
tail
is
provided
with
a
hand
at
the
end.
It
lives,
it's
a
cave
dweller
in
watery
cavern's,
in
watery
depths.
And
if
anyone
arrives
there
at
it's
entrance,
or
there
in
the
water
where
it
is,
it
then
grabs
him
there.
It
is
said
that
it
sinks
him,
it
drinks,
it
plunges
him
into
the
water,
it
takes
him
to
his
home,
it
introduces
him
to
the
depths;
so
it's
tail
goes
on
holding
him,
so
it
goes
on
seizing
him..
The
one
it
has
drowned
no
longer
has
his
eyes,
his
teeth,
his
nails;
it
has
taken
them
all
from
him.
But
his
body
is
completely
unblemished,
his
skin
uninjured.
Only
his
body
comes
out
all
slippery-wet,
as
if
one
has
pounded
it
with
a
stone;
as
if
it
has
inflicted
small
bruises..
