In an origin story, at the inauguration of a new era associated with the xiuhpohualli calendar year Four-Movement, two figures were offering to sacrifice themselves to start the new epoch. Pantecatl hesitated at the last minute, but the other one, Nanahuatzin, threw himself into the flames. Nanahuatzin was then transformed into the sun, and Pantecatl, who had hesitated, was transformed into the moon.
There was a Nahua man named don Francisco Pantecatl in Nueva Galicia in 1565 who was the source of an origin story and an account in Nahuatl of the Spanish invasion and colonization up into the 1560s. He is said to have been the son of a Xonacatl who had died around 1530.
A Nahua man named Lázaro Pantecatl and a Nahua woman, Ana Tepi (his second wife), were householders in Mexico City in 1567.
The son of this same Nahua man, who seems to have originally had the fuller name Martín Lázaro Pantecatl, and his first wife, Beatriz Xoco, was involved in a land dispute in Mexico City in 1573.
