[XIII‑15] 'Y diximos al Fraile q̃ nos encomendase á Dios.' Id.
[XIII‑16] 'Nos hirierõ cesique á todos los mas, y a algunos á dos, y á tres heridas.' Id., 180.
[XIII‑17] Three prisons of latticed timbers were discovered in the city. These were filled with captives who had been seized on the roads. Among them some were from Tehuantepec, others were Zapotecs and Soconuscans. Many Indians also were found sacrificed, and in the temples were hideous idols, 'y hallamos muchas cosas malas de sodomias que vsavan.' Id., 180.
[XIII‑18] Called by Bernal Diaz Gueyhuiztlan, also Guequiztlan, Gueguistitlan, and Guegustitlan, which are probably misprints. Hist. Verdad., 180-1. Godoy spells it Huegueyztean. Rel., in Barcia, i. 168. The first author writes for Cinacantlan, Cinacatan; Godoy, Cenacantean; and Herrera, Canacantean. dec. iii. lib. v. cap. ix.
[XIII‑19] Godoy in his despatch to Cortés states that Medina was released on bail, but that on their return to Espíritu Santo he had imprisoned him, and that justice would be dealt him. Bernal Diaz, however, states that Marin ordered him to be sent under guard to Cortés: 'y luego manda que por la posta le lleuassen a Mexico, para que Cortés le castigasse.' Hist. Verdad., 180. Herrera, followed by Brasseur de Bourbourg, asserts that Godoy sent him to Cortés. dec. iii. lib. v. cap. ix. Oviedo makes no mention of the circumstance. Bernal Diaz informs us that the offender was a soldier of high standing, and refrains from giving his name for the sake of his honor, but with amusing inconsistency states that he will mention it later, which he does on page 198. Medina's fate was tragic, but merited; he was killed by Indians at Xicalanco, for particulars of which event see [Hist. Cent. Am., i. 543-4, this series]. Remesal and Beaumont give a version of his death somewhat different from that of Bernal Diaz, who is the more reliable authority. They state that Medina had been sent after Cortés to inform him of the disturbances which had arisen in Mexico during his absence on the Honduras expedition, and that he was captured by the Indians of Xicalanco, who, sticking splinters of pitch-pine into his body and setting fire to them, made him walk round a hole in the ground till he expired. Hist. Chyapa, 164; Crón. Mich., MS., 322.
[XIII‑20] It was here that Ciudad Real, or Chiapas de los Españoles, was founded later. Id., 181; Godoy, Rel., in Barcia, i. 167.
[XIII‑21] Cinacantlan lay between Chiapas and Chamula about three leagues from the latter. Hist. Verdad., 180.
[XIII‑22] Called Chamolla by Herrera, and also by Gomara. Conq. Mex., 233; Chamolán by Ixtlilxochitl. Horribles Crueldades, 71.
[XIII‑23] Godoy states that the horsemen were divided into three troops, which were stationed so as to form a cordon round the hill; Bernal Diaz that the cavalry attempted the steep, but were found to be useless, and that Marin therefore ordered them to retire, as he feared an attack from the towns of Quiahuitlan (Huehueiztlan?).
[XIII‑24] 'Yno les podiamos hazer daño ninguno con los grandes mamparos que tenian, y ellos à nosotros si, que siempre herian muchos de los nuestros.' Bernal Diaz, Hist. Verdad., 181. Godoy on the contrary says that the Chamulans sustained heavy loss from the cannon and cross-bows. Rel., in Barcia, i. 167-8.
