"When they made know to me their intended departure and return to Spain, I gave them presents, three portions of gold the size of a head, much provision, many deers and rabbits and many greenstones; and I accompanied them as far the Pueblo of Quininistitlan (today Quimistitlan) where I shed many tears, being penetrated with profound grief in the morning I separated from them and returned to my house as is here seen." [Source: 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. 19] Starr's footnote: "The picture here given is unnumbered but seems best to meet the description."
