And in the other half of the other half shield of the left hand, on the lower part, you can bring the city of Tenustitan, armed on water, in memory that by force of arms you won it, and suggested it to our Lordship; and by the border of the said shield, in a yellow field, seven captains and lords of seven provinces and towns, who are in the lagoon and around it the city of Tenustitan, imprisoned and tied with a chain that is closed with a padlock below the said shield; and on top of a helmet with its ring, on a coat of arms such as this".
