Next was Tetlepanquetzatzin, [Translation of the Spanish (left-hand column) by James Lockhart:] The Indian woman who was interpreter, called Marina, placed herself close to the Captain, and on the other side was the lord of Mexico, Quauhtemoctzin; he was covered with a cloak called quetzalichpetztli. Next to him was the lord of Tetzcoco, called Coanacochtzin; he was covered with a cloak of maguey called xoxochitenyo. Another leader was also there, named Tetlepanquetzatzin, lord of Tacuba; he was covered with another poor and dirty cloak. Another leader was also there, called Mixcoatlailotlactzin, and another called Ahuelitoctzin. Last of all was another leader named Yopicatl Popocatzin.
