"By my valor and services I merited all that the Emperor Charles V did to me here: and for this he fame me the grant of these lands." [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. 21] Starr's footnote: "The coat of arms consists of a nopal growing on a hillock; below are a scepter and lance crossed: below these a horn. Two unrecognized objects are that the sides." [p. 21]
