Cortes found Geronimo de Aguilar, a shipwrecked priest who had been held captive by the Mayas since 1511, at Cozumel. De Aguilar spoke Spanish and Maya and would be a translator for the expedition. The caption reads, "Geronimo de Aguilar is presented to Cortes after eight years of slavery among the indians."
