English Translation
[Translation of the Nahuatl (right-hand column) by James Lockhart:] And when the Marqués had heard what Moteucçoma had said, he spoke to Marina in return, babbling back to them, replying in his babbling tongue: “Let Moteucçoma be at ease, let him not be afraid, for we greatly esteem him. Now we are truly satisfied to see him in person and hear him, for until now we have greatly desired to see him and look upon his face. Well,now we have seen him, we have come to his homeland of Mexico. Bit by bit he will hear what we have to say.” Thereupon [the Spaniards] took [Moteucçoma] by the hand. They came along with him, stroking his hair to show their good feeling. And the Spaniards looked at him, each of them giving him a close look. They would start along walking, then mount, then dismount again in order to see him. And as to each of the rulers who went with him, they were: first, Cacamatzin, ruler of Tetzcoco; second, Tetlepanquetzatzin, ruler of Tlacopan; third, the Tlacochcalcatl Itzquauhtzin, [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] and fourth, the majordomo that Moteucçoma had placed in Tlatelolco, named Topantemoctzin. These were the highest leaders, in addition to many other Mexica leaders of lower rank who were present, one of whom was named Adixcatzin, Tlacateccatl; another named Tepehuatzin, Tlacochcalcatl; another Quetzalaztatzin, Ticocyahuacatl; another named Totomochtzin Ecatempatiltzin; another named Quappiatzin. When Moteucçoma was taken prisoner all these abandoned him and hid themselves.
