Cacama (Cacamatzin)

Pasada esta puente, nos salió á recebir aquel señor Muteczuma con fasta docientos señores, todos descalzos y vestidos de otra librea ó manera de ropa, asimismo bien rica á su uso, y mas que la de los otros; y venian en dos procesiones, muy arrimados á las paredes de la calle, que es muy ancha y muy hermosa y derecha, que de un cabo se parece el otro, y tiene dos tercios de legua, y de la una parte y de la otra muy buenas y grandes casas, así de aposentamientos como de mezquitas; y el dicho Muteczuma venia por medio de la calle con dos señores, el uno á la mano derecha y el otro á la izquierda; de los cuales el uno era aquel señor grande que dije que me habia salido á fablar en las andas, y el otro era su hermano del dicho Muteczuma, señor de aquella ciudad de Iztapalapa, de donde yo aquel dia habia partido; todos tres vestidos de una manera, excepto el Muteczuma, que iba calzado, y los otros dos señores descalzos: cada uno le llevaba de su brazo;

When we had crossed this bridge, the lord Muteczuma himself came out to receive us, with some two hundred lords. They were all barefoot and dressed in another livery, or style of clothing, also very rich by their custom, and richer than that of the others. They came in two processions, keeping close to the walls of the street. The street is very wide, beautiful, and straight, so straight that one end can be seen from the other, though it runs for two thirds of a league. On both sides are very good, large houses, both dwellings and temples. Muteczuma came down the middle of the street with two lords, one on his right hand and the other on his left. One was the great lord who, as I said, had come out to speak to me in a litter. The other was Muteczuma's brother, lord of Iztapalapa, the city I had set out from that day. All three were dressed alike, except that Muteczuma wore shoes and the other two lords were barefoot. Each of them held him by an arm.

Los señores que se hallaron presentes con Mocthecuzoma fueron los siguientes: el señor de Texcoco, que se llamaba Cacamatzin: el 2.° el señor de Tlacupan que se llamaba Tetlepanquetzatzin: el 3.° el que gobernaba en el Tlatilulco que se llamaba Itzquauhtzin: el 4.° el mayordomo de Mocthecuzoma que tenia puesto en el Tlatilulco que se llamaba Topantèmoctzin. Estos fueron mas principales, sin otros muchos menos principales Mexicanos que allí se hallaron, el uno de los cuales se llamaba Atlixcatzintlacateccatl, el otro Tepeoatzintlaeochculcatl, el otro Quetzalaztatzinticociaoacatl, otro Totomochtzinhecatempatiltzin, el otro Quappiatzin; todos estos cuando fue preso Mocthecuzoma le desampararon y se escondieron.

The lords who were there with Mocthecuzoma were these. The first was the lord of Texcoco, called Cacamatzin. The second was the lord of Tlacupan, called Tetlepanquetzatzin. The third was the governor of Tlatilulco, called Itzquauhtzin. The fourth was Mocthecuzoma's steward, whom he had placed in Tlatilulco, called Topantèmoctzin. These were the most important. Many other Mexicans of lesser rank were also there. One was called Atlixcatzintlacateccatl, another Tepeoatzintlaeochculcatl, another Quetzalaztatzinticociaoacatl, another Totomochtzinhecatempatiltzin, and another Quappiatzin. When Mocthecuzoma was taken prisoner, all of these men abandoned him and went into hiding.

ansi questuvimos parados vn buen rrato, y desde alli se adelantaron, el Cacamaçi, señor de tezcuco, y el señor de yztapalapa, y el señor de tacuba, y el señor de cuyuacan, a Encontrarse, Con el gran monteçuma, que venia çerca, En rricas andas, aconpañado de otros grandes señores, y caçiques, q̃ tenian vasallos, ya que llegavamos çerca de mexᶜᵒ a donde estavan otras torrezillas, se apeo el gran monteçuma de las andas, y trayanle de braço, aquellos grandes caçiques, debajo de vn palio, muy rriquisimo, a maravilla, y la color de plumas verdes Con grandes labores de oro, con mucha argenteria y perlas, y piedras chalchivis, que colgavan de vnas como bordaduras que ovo mucho que mirar en ello, y el gran montezuma venia muy rricamente ataviado, segun su vsança y traya calçados vnos como cotaras, q̃ ansi se dize lo q̃ se calçan, las suelas de oro, y muy preçiada pedreria por ençima En ellas,

So we halted there a good while. From there Cacamatzin, lord of Tezcuco, went ahead with the lords of Iztapalapa, Tacuba, and Cuyuacan to meet the great Montezuma. He was coming close behind in a rich litter, with other great lords and caciques who had vassals of their own. Close to Mexico, at a spot with more small towers, the great Montezuma stepped down from his litter. Those great caciques supported him by the arms, under a marvelously rich canopy of green feathers worked all over with gold, with much silver ornament, and with pearls and chalchivis stones hanging from a kind of border. There was a great deal to look at in it. The great Montezuma was very richly dressed in his own fashion. On his feet he wore a kind of sandal, cotaras as they call their footwear, with soles of gold and precious stones set on top.
