"Here is represented the place and mode in which I conducted those who resisted believing in the word of God; and afterward they were baptized for respect for me, because I lent my aid to the Señor Don Fernando Cortes, Marquis of the Valley, with my valor and strength as is here seen. I believe in God the Father. I am named Ytzcamintzin." [Frederick Starr's English translation of the text found in the corresponding scene in the version he saw in the pueblo in 1898, published in his The Mapa de Cuauhtlantzinco (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1898), p.14.] Starr's footnote: "Possibly the same as Tepostecatzin. If not, and the hint in the text of 11 is sound, he may be a chief of Chalco." [p. 15]
