The Codex Chimalpopoca (also known as the Anales de Cuauhtitlan and the Leyenda de los Soles) has handwriting "consistent with a date sometime in the middle of the seventeenth century as it uses a style which has been called Jesuit because of its occasional recourse to the system of diacritics developed by Carochi." Its style is reminiscent of Bartolomé de Alva. He might have had it copied so that he could study it. He had served for a time near Chiapa de Mota, only a few leagues from Cuauhtitlan.
Some indigenous people who lived in Spanish colonial times also took the name Chimalpopoca.
