  1.The manuscript consists of fifty questions put to each of the twenty-one witnesses, two of whom, the conquistadors Diego Maldonado, el rico, and Nicolás de Ribera, el mozo, were at the time unable to attend the hearing, and whose subsequent testimonies have been lost. Though the evidence of most of the witnesses was given on separate days, and only relates to the events in which they were present, in order to maintain a sequence of continuity their answers are listed after each of Mansio’s itemized statements, and translated in the first person singular.
